233. And the mothers should suckle their children for two complete years (564). For whoever desires to complete(565) the suckling period, on him, to whom the child belongs, there is (responsibility of) feeding and clothing of the women in the prescribed manner (566). No soul shall be burdened, but within his capacity. The mother should not suffer on account of her child. Nor, should the father suffer on account of his child (567). And the same is incumbent (568)on the father's heir. And then, if both decide on weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, there is no sin (569) upon both of them. Then, if you wish that your children should be suckled by nurses then, too, there is no blame (570) on you; provided what was agreed (571) is paid by you with kindness. And remain fearing Allah, and know that, surely, Allah observes what you do.
