Umm Muhammad (Sahih International): Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period].

And if they both desire weaning through mutual consent from both of them and consultation, there is no blame upon either of them. And if you wish to have your children nursed by a substitute, there is no blame upon you as long as you give payment according to what is acceptable. And fear Allah and know that Allah is Seeing of what you do
