English Sahih:
Mothers may nurse [i.e., breastfeed] their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. Upon the father is their [i.e., the mothers'] provision and their clothing according to what is acceptable. No person is charged with more than his capacity. No mother should be harmed through her child, and no father through his child. And upon the [father's] heir is [a duty] like that [of the father]. And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do. (Al-Baqarah [2] : 233)
Ma Jian (Simplified):
做母亲的，应当替欲哺乳期的人，哺乳自己的婴儿两周岁。做父亲的应当照例供给她们的衣食。每个人只依他的能力而受责成。不要使做母亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏，也不要使做父亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏。（如果做父亲的死了），继承人应负同样的责任。如果做母亲的欲依协议而断乳，那么，他俩毫无罪过。如果你们另雇乳母哺乳你们的婴儿，那么，你们毫无罪过，但须交付照例应给的工资。你们当敬畏安拉，当知道安拉是明察你们的行为的。 (黄牛 [2] : 233)
1 Mokhtasar Chinese
作为母亲，应当哺乳自己的婴儿两周年，这个限定是对愿意哺乳到期满的人来说的。作为婴儿的父亲应按常规，在不违反教法和超出自己能力范围的前提下，供给婴儿母亲的开销和衣食。父母双方不允许将婴儿作为伤害对方的工具。如果没有父亲，婴儿的监护人也应供给其母；如果婴儿没有财产，则无需履行其父之责。如果父母协商后，为了婴儿的利益而在两年内断乳，那么他俩是毫无罪过的；如果你们另雇乳母哺乳婴儿，在不拖欠和不滞缓给付的情况下按照常规给予乳母工资，那你们也是毫无罪过的。你们以遵循真主的命令，放弃真主的禁令而敬畏真主吧！你们当知道真主是全知的，是洞察万物的，真主依照你们的行为而报偿你们。
