Islamic scholar promotes adult breastfeeding
"A RELIGIOUS ruling by an Islamic scholar permitting women to breastfeed adults with whom they work
has led to his suspension this month from al-Azhar University in Cairo, the world's leading Sunni university.
Izzat Atiyaa had issued a fatwa, or religious ruling, offering his bold suggestion as a way around
the prohibition in Islamic religious law against a woman working in private premises with a man who
was not her close relative. Breastfeeding, he argued, would create a familial relationship under Islamic law."
