Hadith.4788 - Ali ibn Abi Hamzah narrated from Abu Basir from Abu Abdullah (as) who said
I heard Imam (as) say, "A pregnant divorced woman is to be provided for until she delivers her child, and she has more right to nurse her child as long as she accepts compensation similar to what another woman would accept. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'No mother should be harmed because of her child, nor should any father because of his child. And upon the heir is the same responsibility' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:233) There should be no harm caused to the child nor to the mother in matters of nursing. She is not entitled to take compensation for nursing beyond two complete years, but if they both agree to wean the child before that 'by mutual consent and consultation,' then it is acceptable. And 'weaning' means the cessation of breastfeeding."
4788 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: "اَلْحُبْلَى اَلْمُطَلَّقَةُ يُنْفَقُ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَضَعَ حَمْلَهَا وَ هِيَ أَحَقُّ بِوَلَدِهَا أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ بِمَا تَقْبَلُهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ أُخْرَى يَقُولُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ۝ لاٰ تُضَارَّ وٰالِدَةٌ بِوَلَدِهٰا وَ لاٰ مَوْلُودٌ لَهُ بِوَلَدِهِ وَ عَلَى اَلْوٰارِثِ مِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ ۝ لاَ يُضَارَّ بِالصَّبِيِّ وَ لاَ يُضَارَّ بِأُمِّهِ فِي رَضَاعِهِ وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَنْ تَأْخُذَ فِي رَضَاعِهِ فَوْقَ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اَلْفِصَالَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ "عَنْ تَرٰاضٍ مِنْهُمٰا" كَانَ حَسَناً وَ اَلْفِصَالُ هُوَ اَلْفِطَامُ ".
