Arabic
وَالۡوَالِدٰتُ يُرۡضِعۡنَ اَوۡلَادَهُنَّ حَوۡلَيۡنِ كَامِلَيۡنِ​ لِمَنۡ اَرَادَ اَنۡ يُّتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ ​ ؕ وَعَلَى الۡمَوۡلُوۡدِ لَهٗ رِزۡقُهُنَّ وَكِسۡوَتُهُنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ​ؕ لَا تُكَلَّفُ نَفۡسٌ اِلَّا وُسۡعَهَا ۚ لَا تُضَآرَّ وَالِدَةٌ ۢ بِوَلَدِهَا وَلَا مَوۡلُوۡدٌ لَّهٗ بِوَلَدِهٖ وَعَلَى الۡوَارِثِ مِثۡلُ ذٰ لِكَ ۚ فَاِنۡ اَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنۡ تَرَاضٍ مِّنۡهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِمَا ​ؕ وَاِنۡ اَرَدْتُّمۡ اَنۡ تَسۡتَرۡضِعُوۡٓا اَوۡلَادَكُمۡ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اِذَا سَلَّمۡتُمۡ مَّآ اٰتَيۡتُمۡ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ​ؕ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاعۡلَمُوۡٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ بَصِيۡرٌ‏

If they (i.e. the fathers) wish that the period of suckling for their children be completed, mothers may suckle their children for two whole years. (In such a case) it is incumbent upon him who has begotten the child to provide them (i.e. divorced women) their sustenance and clothing in a fair manner. But none shall be burdened with more than he is able to bear; neither shall a mother suffer because of her child nor shall the father be made to suffer because he has begotten him. The same duty towards the suckling mother rests upon the heir as upon him (i.e. the father). And if both (the parents) decide, by mutual consent and consultation, to wean the child, there is no blame on them; if you decide to have other women suckle your children there is no blame upon you, provided you hand over its compensation in a fair manner. Fear Allah and know well that Allah sees all that you do.
Urdu
Jo baap chahte hon ke unki aulad poori muddat e razaat tak doodh piye, to Maaein (mothers) apne bacchon ko kamil do saal doodh pilayein. Is surat mein bacchey ke baap ko maroof tareeqe se unhein khana, kapda dena hoga. Magar kisi par uski wusat se badhkar baar na daalna chahiye, na to Maa ko is wajah se takleef mein dala jaye ke baccha uska hai, aur na baap hi ko is wajah se tangg kiya jaye ke baccha uska hai. Doodh pilane wali ka yeh haqq jaisa bacchey ke baap par hai waisa hi uske waris par bhi hai , lekin agar fareeqain bahami razamandi aur mashware se doodh chudana chahein to aisa karne mein koi muzahiqa nahin, aur agar tumhara khayal apni aulad ko kisi gair aurat se doodh pilwane ka ho, to ismein bhi koi harj nahin bashart yeh ke iska jo kuch muawaza (compensation) tai karo, woh maroof tareeqe par ada kardo. Allah se daro aur jaan rakkho ke jo kuch tum karte ho, sab Allah ki nazar mein hai
