Is it allowed to breastfeed a child after sexual intercourse or in other words what are the norms of breastfeeding. At times there are situations once the baby demands milk and there is no time for the mother to take bath or to make wuzu after a sexual intercourse. So what are the limits laid down in Isalm with regards to breast feeding.
Answer
You are aware that you need to make Ghusl after a sexual intercourse. It is
preferable that you make Ghusl before feeding the baby but if the child
demands, then you should give preference to the child because Tahaarah
(cleanliness) is not a condition for breast-feeding.
