Is it permissible in Islam for a husband to engage in sexual activities with his breastfeeding wife? If so, what is the ruling if he gets some milk in his mouth?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not permissible for the husband (according to obligatory precaution) to drink from the milk of his wife. Such act despite being not permissible, does not forbid the husband from sexual activities with his wife nor does it harm their marriage bond. If husband while his sexual activities with his wife gets some milk in his mouth, he should spit it out and avoid drinking it.

What is the ruling for continuing to breastfeed a child after becoming pregnant? Is it permissible to continue or should the child be weaned immediately?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

As long as the infant child you are currently breastfeeding has not reached the age of weaning, then there is no shar'i problem in continuing to breastfeed the baby.

Of course, you should consult your doctor and ask if continuing to breastfeed while pregnant will make you weak, or bring about any other problems. 

And Allah knows best.
