Re: Outsourcing Motherhood - Is it allowed in Islam ?
Mirch:
Here is the ruling from Muta of Imam Malik on suckling of milk by adults :
http://www.isna.net/library/hadith/malik/030_mmt.html
*Book 30, Number 30.2.13: *Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Dinar said, "A man came to Abdullah ibn Umar when I waswith him at the place where judgments were given and asked him about the suckling of an older person. Abdullah ibn Umar replied, ‘A man came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said, ‘I have a slave-girl and I used to have intercourse with her. My wife went to her and suckled her. When I went to the girl, my wife told me to watch out, because she had suckled her!’ Umar told him to beat his wife and to go to his slave-girl because kinship by suckling was only by the suckling of the young.’ "
*Book 30, Number 30.2.14: *Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that a man said to Abu Musa al-Ashari, “I drank some milk from my wife’s breasts and it went into my stomach.” Abu Musa said, “I can only but think that she is haram for you.” Abdullah ibn Masud said, “Look at what opinion you are giving the man.” Abu Musa said, “Then what do you say?” Abdullah ibn Masud said, “There is only kinship by suckling in the first two years.”
Abu Musa said, “Do not ask me about anything while this learned man is among you.”

Br. Mirch I was a bit rusty and went back to check more ahadith in Bukhari and Malik about this. I concede this point, you are right, the two year weaning period is only where the relationship of mahram can be created not adulthood. JAK.
