Is the husband permitted to compel his wife to complete two full years of breastfeeding if she does not wish to do so, believing that the child will not be harmed by weaning after reaching a year and a half and beginning to eat solid food?

It is permissible to wean a child before two years of age, provided two conditions are met: that weaning before two years does not harm the child, and that it is with the consent of both parents. If the husband does not agree to wean the child before two years, then the wife does not have the right to do so. As for compelling the wife to breastfeed the child, scholars have differed on this matter; some have permitted it, while others have prohibited it. Parents should prioritize the child's best interest, consult with each other, and reach a mutual agreement.
