Narrated by Ibn 'Abbas : Suclking applies only to infants during the first two years of their life. Reported by Ad Daraqutni and Iban Adi as Marfu (A saying of the Prophet) and Mawquf (A saying of the Companions). So this fatwa is against the teachings of Al Islaam.
The guy who issued the breast feeding fatwa was dismissed. Thankfully (and I'm sure all working women in Egypt rejoiced at that one!).
But this is what I have a problem with, especially as an adoptive mother myself.
A couple approached. The man’s clothes were tattered, and his wife looked distressed. Their 9-year-old son’s clothing was clean, his hair gelled, his smile bright. The man explained that they had adopted the child when he was 9 months old, and that they had just heard that under Islam their son had to be put out of the house, because the mother had not given birth to him or breast-fed him. He would reach puberty as an outsider, and could not, technically, be around the woman he knew as his mother. The imam at their local mosque said it was haram — forbidden under Islam — to live with the boy. The sheik said yes, that was right, that the boy could not live with them. The father leaned in, disturbed, and said, “And that’s it.” The sheik seemed stuck and referred them to another sheik for another opinion. That was their fatwa.
This is so disturbing to me.....to think of that little boy who will soon be without a family. What will become of him? What about his broken hearted parents? Make no mistake, they are his parents. Yet a religion with a long history of distrusting women, feeling that women are thisclose to becoming wh*res and thus must be controlled and seperated EVEN FROM THEIR OWN SONS!!
Disgusting, but then that is what organized religion will get you.
I follow Jesus so I don't need to worry about this. Jesus came to complete the laws. So many Jewish laws are not followed by Christians now, Jesus made them null and void for us.
