Question: I have a 14 month old child who is still breastfed and I am also 3 months pregnant. Some sisters keep telling me that I should stop doing this as they have read in the Qur'aan that it is harmful to my baby. What is your opinion?
Answer: As for the woman while she is pregnant, there is no harm upon her if she wants to breastfeed the other baby. As for the woman who told her that it is not permissible for her to do so, then she should be asked to speak with knowledge, to speak while she has knowledge of what she says, and to present the evidences. To speak without knowledge and without giving evidences is a mistake and it is wrong. There is nothing wrong with this woman breastfeeding her 14 month old baby while she is pregnant. There is nothing against her, and Allaah knows best.
