and mothers shall suckle their children two whole years this is for him who intendeth that he shall complete the suckling and on him to whom the child is born is their provision and clothing reputably not a soul is tasked except according to its capacity. neither shall a mother be hurt because of her child nor shall he to whom the child is born because of his child and on the heir shall devolve the like thereof. then if the twain desire weaning by agreement between them and mutual counsel on the twain is no blame. and if ye desire to give your children out for suckling on you is no blame when ye hand over that which ye had agreed to give her reputably. and fear allah and know that of that which ye work allah is the beholder.
