Weaning the Infant Due to the Mother's Deteriorating Health
Is it permissible to wean the child from breastfeeding after completing the sixth month of age? Knowing that the mother's health is deteriorating significantly and she often experiences dizziness and lightheadedness while standing?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for a mother to wean her infant if it harms her health, and the best in breastfeeding is for it to last for two years for those who are able to do so, and God knows best.
