وَعَلَى الْمَوْلُودِ لَهُ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَكِسْوَتُهُنَّ
“And the father of the child is responsible for their provision and clothing.” (Al-Baqarah 2:233, relevant passage)
The textbook identifies the direct purpose as obligating provision and clothing in the relevant nursing context. The verse is addressing duties connected with childcare and nursing.
The expressly intended ruling is the financial responsibility indicated by the wording, subject to the relevant context and conditions. This is the passage’s ibarat.
