Réponse
Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:
1.It is specific to divorced women. [Saʿīd ibn Jubayr, Mujāhid, al-Ḍaḥḥāk, al-Suddī, Muqātil]
- It is general, applying to both married and divorced women. This is why it is said that a mother may hire herself to breastfeed her child, whether she is with her husband or divorced. [Al-Qāḍī Abū Yaʿlā, Abū Sulaymān al-Dimashqī]
