baby breastfeeding hadith?

One of the most authentic hadiths about breastfeeding states:

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

> "Suckling (rida) creates a tie that Allah has made haram."

> (Sahih Bukhari, Nikah, 71; Sahih Muslim, Rida, 6)

This hadith indicates that breastfeeding creates not just nourishment but also a milk kinship (sibling relationship). Meaning when a baby nurses from a wet nurse or shares milk with milk siblings for a certain amount, marriage between them becomes prohibited in Islamic law.

In another hadith it states:

> "Breastfeeding establishes kinship only within the first two years of life."

> (Sahih Bukhari, Shahadat, 7; Sahih Muslim, Rida, 44)

This provides an Islamic framework—consistent with pediatric recommendations—that breastfeeding duration is limited to approximately the first two years.

For more comprehensive Islamic rulings, I recommend consulting a religious scholar.
