A woman must remain in her until she experiences three menstrual periods, even if this extends beyond the nursing period. This is by agreement of the four Imams and others. It is permissible for a woman to nurse her son (from another woman's milk) in order to induce menstruation, or to drink something that stimulates menstruation.
