Husband's Regrets: My Wife's Tears

Episode 84: ASI Baby Agam

The sound of the dawn adhan reverberated, Nathan took ablution and performed the dawn prayer. He turned towards Abah and Uminya. They're fast asleep. Because they waited all night for Michelle who did not open her eyes.

Nathan performed two rakaat prayers at the Mushola Hospital. Begging the Creator, so that his wife is strong through her critical period. He hopes, Michelle quickly realized in order to give her first ASI for baby Agam.

Nothing is impossible if God wills. That is what is now the hold of his life as a believing servant.

Nathan returned to his wife's room. Abah and Umi are worried. He ran towards Abah and Uminya.

"What's up, Bah, Umi? Why do you guys look so panicked?" nathan asked while adjusting his breathing.

"Nath, Baby Agam is crying! He asked for milk! How'this? Do we use formula milk?" ask Umi to panic. Indeed, from birth to this world, Baby Agam has not received a drop of his life source. Because of Laper, the little baby was crying loudly.

"Let Nathan calm him down! Umi and Abah don't have to worry!"

Nathan came to the baby room. The baby just came out of the incubator today. So, now Baby Agam in a special room baby.

When going to the baby room. Nathan meets Adnan and Amina. In the morning they came to visit. Is it allowed to be the same at the Hospital, that's what Nathan's thinking.

"Assalamualaikum, Nathan!"

"Girishalam, Bang! Glad to see Brother and Wife! How are you and your family?"

"Thank God we are all healthy!" they said, "Well, where are you going? How do you look so rushed?"

"I'm going to the baby's room. My son is crying, Bang! Says the nurse, she's thirsty! I'm gonna go get some formula for my son!"

"Susu Formula? Oh Nathan, better not! Poor him. Such a small baby, should get exclusive ASI!"

"That's right. But Michelle is still unconscious. And he hasn't been able to give his ASI to Agam!"

"Oh, so!" said Amina, "I'm sorry, Nath! How can I give ASI? I happen to be breastfeeding too! And Thank God my ASI is abundant! Baby Agam can suckle on me!" Amina gave Nathan a proposal.

"Is it not a hassle?"

"No, Nath! Muslims should help each other! Right Abi?"

"Yes, Honey!" Adnan rubbed the top of his wife's head, "What Amina said is right, Nath! We all need to help each other! Especially giving breast milk to a newborn! The law is fine, as long as it needs to be remembered! Most scholars agree, the condition of Mahram only occurs after 5 perfect breastfeeding within two years. That is, if a baby drinks milk from the same donor mother more than five times, and each time it drinks breast milk the baby feels full or releases his own mouth from ****** the mother's milk, then there is a prohibition of marriage relations between the two families!" adnan.

"Yes, Bang. I know that!"

"Alhamdulillah."

"Come, Amina! I'll take you to the baby's room!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"How's Michelle doing?" ask Adnan.

"Still the same, Bang! Michelle is critical. He's not conscious!"

"Patience to you, Nath! All are tests! We have to be patient and strong!"

"Yes, Bang! Thank you very much for your support!"

"Yes, before we got here! We bought breakfast for all of you! You haven't had breakfast, have you?"

"I'm not good! Keep bothering you and your family!"

"What are you talking about? We are family!"

"Thank you very much, Bang!"

An hour later, Amina came out of the baby's room. Amina also keeps her ASI in the refrigerator. He told Nathan to buy a bottle of milk, to make it easier for him to give the ASI to Baby Agam.

"There will be a nurse who will tell you how!" amina.

"All right!"

"Tomorrow me and Mas Adnan are here again! As long as Michelle is unconscious, I'm willing to be Baby Agam's milk mother! May God bless all our good intentions!"

"Amen."

...There is a certain condition when a mother has difficulty removing an ASI from ***********. In this condition, the thing that can be done is to follow the ASI donor program or go to the ASI Bank. However, there are some people who still question, whether the activities of ASI donors are allowed religion, especially Islam?...

...Also mentioned, in the Quran letter Al Baqarah verse 233, the right time to breastfeed perfectly is maximum 2 years. If there are obstacles, for example, the mother does not have a little milk, it is allowed less than 2 years, provided there is an agreement between husband and wife....

..."According to the letter of Al Baqarah verse 233, ASI donors are allowed in Islam."...

...One of the proofs that ASI donors are allowed in Islam, according to Islam is the experience experienced by Prophet Muhammad SAW in his childhood. At that time he had a mother named Halimah. Then Muhammad was taken to Halimah's residence in the mountains, because at that time the state of Mecca, especially its air condition, was no longer ideal for the survival of the baby....

...There are two types of ASI donors, direct and indirect. Donor directly means the mother of the milk donor is clearly known identity. While in an indirect donor, the identity of the donor mother can be clear, it can also not, and they provide ASI through tools such as hoses or pacifiers....

...There are several things that must be underlined by mothers who will do ASI donors, or seek ASI donor services. It turns out that there is a legal impact on breast milk donors that prohibit or prohibit marriage relationships between the two families who give breast milk donors and who receive them. This rule is called Mahram....

...As for the grouping of people who are forbidden to marry because of the marriage of women who breastfeed and their mothers, daughters of women who breastfeed, sisters of women who breastfeed, the daughter of the daughter of a breastfeeding woman, the mother of the husband of a breastfeeding woman, the sister of the husband of a breastfeeding woman, and, the daughter of the son of the woman who breastfed, the daughter of the husband of the woman who breastfed, as well as the other wife of the husband of the woman who breastfed....
