The answer

One should not seek out the anomalous or erroneous statements of scholars. The Islamic Research Academy and the scholars of Al-Azhar have denounced the in question, and its proponent has retracted it. The majority of scholars hold that the nursing of an adult does not establish a prohibitory relationship (mahramiyya), and that the of Sahla bint Suhail is a special dispensation. Furthermore, it is not permissible for a woman to work if it involves seclusion () or unlawful mixing (ikhtilat) with men.
