وَ الْوالِداتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلادَهُنَّ قَالَ مَا دَامَ الْوَلَدُ فِي الرَّضَاعِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَ الْأَبَوَيْنِ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ فَإِذَا فُطِمَ فَالْأَبُ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْأُمِّ فَإِذَا مَاتَ الْأَبُ فَالْأُمُّ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْعَصَبَةِ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ الْأَبُ مَنْ يُرْضِعُهُ بِأَرْبَعَةِ دَرَاهِمَ وَ قَالَتِ الْأُمُّ لَا أُرْضِعُهُ إِلَّا بِخَمْسَةِ دَرَاهِمَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْزِعَهُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَ أَرْفَقُ بِهِ أَنْ يُتْرَكَ مَعَ أُمِّهِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Dawood Bin Al Husayn, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h233"><a href="/books/quran:2#h233">[2:233]</a></a> And the mothers should suckle their children</span>, for as long as the child is in the breast-feeding. So he would be between the two parents with the equality. So when it weans, then for the father is more right with him than the mother. So when the father dies, so the mother is more rightful with him that the relatives. So if the father finds one who would breast-feed it for four Dirhams, and the mother says, ‘No, I will breast-feed it, except for five Dirhams, so it would be up to him if he snatches it from her, except if that is better for it, and she is more kind with it, if he were to leave it with its mother’.
