After Weaning Breastfeeding does not have any Effect

لَا رَضَاعَ بَعْدَ فِطَامٍ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Breastfeeding after weaning is not effective/”

الرَّضَاعُ قَبْلَ الْحَوْلَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطَمَ.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Breastfeeding is effective before completion of two years of a child before weaning him.’”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‌ لَا رَضَاعَ بَعْدَ فِطَامٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا الْفِطَامُ قَالَ الْحَوْلَانِ اللَّذَانِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌[1].

“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Breastfeeding after weaning is not effective.’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, what is al-Fatam (weaning)?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is the two years that Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has mentioned (in His book).’ (2:233)”

“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about the case of a woman who drained her milk and made her husband to drink it so that she could become unlawful to him. He (the Imam) said, ‘He keeps her and makes her feel a backache.’” (Such expression is used for a flogging implemented by a judicial body.)

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘Breastfeeding after weaning is not effective, continuous fasting is not valid, one is not an orphan after experiencing wet-dream, vowing to remain silen
