The mothers shall give such to their offspring for two whole years, if the father desires to complete the term. But he shall bear the cost of their food and clothing on equitable terms. No soul shall have a burden laid on it greater than it can bear. No mother shall be Treated unfairly on account of her child. Nor father on account of his child, an heir shall be chargeable in the same way. If they both decide on weaning, by mutual consent, and after due consultation, there is no blame on them. If ye decide on a foster-mother for your offspring, there is no blame on you, provided ye pay (the mother) what ye offered, on equitable terms. But fear Allah and know that Allah sees well what ye do.

Say: "Come, I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": Join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds. Whether open or secret; take not life, which Allah hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.

Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.

做母亲的，应当替欲哺满乳期的人，哺乳自己的婴儿两周岁。做父亲的，应当照例供给她们的衣食。每个人只依他的能力而受责成。不要使做母亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏，也不要使做父亲的为自己的婴儿而吃亏。（如果做父亲的死了），继承人应负同样的责任。如果做父母的欲依协议而断乳，那末，他们俩毫无罪过。如果你们另顾乳母哺乳你们的婴儿，那末，你们毫无罪过，但须交付照例应给的工资。你们当敬畏真主，当知道真主是明察你们的行为的。

你说：“你们来吧，来听我宣读你们的主所禁戒你们的事项：你们不要以物配主，你们应当孝敬父母；你们不要因为贫穷而杀害自己的儿女，我供给你们和他们；你们不要临近明显的和隐微的丑事；你们不要违背真主的禁令而杀人，除非因为正义。他将这些事嘱咐你们，以便你们了解。

你们不要因为怕贫穷而杀害自己的儿女，我供给他们和你们。杀害他们确是大罪。
