I am not a Muslim, but I do have Google on my computer... The Dutch
translation of the Koran is online and it mentions 'nursing' in
'chapter' 31, line 14 and 65 line 6. 'nursling' is mentioned in
chapter 22, line 2.
I won't give you the sentences as my translation of a translation
wouldn't be very accurate anymore.
You can search the English translation(s) on

or access 3 Englis translations via
