Is it permissible to breastfeed a child over 2 years old? Until what age does breast-feeding make the child a relative (mahram)? Are there any exceptions to this rule?
I am asking because there are many 2 year olds in our area who need families – they need to be "adopted" in the Western sense. I would like to help these children, and expand our ummah, but to avoid hardship, I hope that there is a way that they could become relatives of my son.
