Breastfeeding is highly regarded in Islam. The Qur'an regards it as a sign of love between the mother and child. In Islamic law, breastfeeding creates ties of milk kinship (known as raḍāʿ or riḍāʿa (Arabic: رضاع, رضاعة pronounced [riˈdˤaːʕ(a)])) that has implications in family law.[1][2] Muslims throughout the world have varied breastfeeding traditions.
