Hiring/Renting: Hiring a Woman for Wet Nursing

Practical Laws of Islam as per the teachings of Ayatullah Sistani

Ruling 2196

A woman can be hired for wet nursing, and it is not necessary for her to obtain her husband’s consent. However, if the act of wet nursing infringes on his rights, she cannot be hired without his consent.
