الْحُبْلَى الْمُطَلَّقَةُ يُنْفَقُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ هِيَ أَحَقُّ بِوَلَدِهَا إِنْ تُرْضِعْهُ بِمَا تَقْبَلُهُ امْرَأَةٌ أُخْرَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ لا تُضَارَّ والِدَةٌ بِوَلَدِها وَ لا مَوْلُودٌ لَهُ بِوَلَدِهِ وَ عَلَى الْوارِثِ مِثْلُ ذلِكَ قَالَ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَّا تَرْفَعُ يَدَهَا إِلَى زَوْجِهَا إِذَا أَرَادَ مُجَامَعَتَهَا فَتَقُولُ لَا أَدَعُكَ لِأَنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ أَحْمِلَ عَلَى وَلَدِي وَ يَقُولُ الرَّجُلُ لَا أُجَامِعُكِ إِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ تَعْلَقِي فَأَقْتُلَ وَلَدِي فَنَهَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ تُضَارَّ الْمَرْأَةُ الرَّجُلَ وَ أَنْ يُضَارَّ الرَّجُلُ الْمَرْأَةَ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ وَ عَلَى الْوارِثِ مِثْلُ ذلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ نَهَى أَنْ يُضَارَّ بِالصَّبِيِّ أَوْ يُضَارَّ أُمُّهُ فِي رَضَاعِهِ وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَنْ تَأْخُذَ فِي رَضَاعِهِ فَوْقَ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ وَ إِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْهُمَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حَسَناً وَ الْفِصَالُ هُوَ الْفِطَامُ .
Translation
Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The pregnant divorced woman, he should spend upon her until she places her load, and she is more deserving with her son that she breas-feeds him with what another woman is accepting to do it for. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h233"><a href="/books/quran:2#h233">[2:233]</a></a> neither shall a mother be made to suffer harm on account of her child, nor a father on account of his child, and upon the heir is similar to that</span> He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The woman from us used to raise her hands to her husband when he wanted to approach her, so she was saying, ‘I will not let you, because I fear that I would be pregnant upon my child’, and the man was saying, ‘I will not sleep with you. I fear my instinct, so I would kill my child’. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Prohibited that the woman should harm the man, and he man should harm the woman. And as for His<sup>azwj</sup> Words <span class="ibTxt">and upon the heir is similar to that</span>, so He<sup>azwj</sup> has Forbidden that the child be harmed, or his mother would harm him with regards to him being breast-fed. And it is not for her that she should take (recompense) with regards to his breast-feeding for more than two years complete. And if they both intend a wet-nurse to feed on both their behalves before that, it would be better, and the feeding, it is the weaning’.
