The mothers shall give suck to their children for two whole years, (that is) for those (parents) who desire to complete the term of suckling, but the father of the child shall bear the cost of the mother's food and clothing on a reasonable basis. No person shall have a burden laid on him greater than he can bear. No mother shall be treated unfairly on account of her child, nor father on account of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no sin on them. And if you decide on a foster suckling-mother for your children, there is no sin on you, provided you pay (the mother) what you agreed (to give her) on reasonable basis. And fear Allah and know that Allah is All-Seer of what you do.
Na wazazi wanawake wawanyonyeshe watoto wao miaka miwili kaamili kwa anaye taka kutimiza kunyonyesha. Na juu ya baba yake chakula cha kina mama, na nguo zao kwa mujibu wa ada. Wala halazimishwi mtu ila kwa kadiri ya uwezo wake. Mama asitiwe taabuni kwa ajili ya mwanawe, wala baba kwa ajili ya mwanawe. Na juu ya mrithi mfano wa hivyo. Na kama wote wawili wakitaka kumwachisha ziwa kwa kuridhiana na kushauriana, basi si vibaya kwao. Na mkitaka kuwapatia watoto wenu mama wa kuwanyonyesha basi hapana ubaya kwenu mkitoa mlicho ahidi kwa mujibu wa ada. Na mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu, na jueni kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu anayaona yote mnayo yatenda.
