Is it permissible for a woman to breastfeed her child with formula milk?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, a nursing woman says: If a woman fears for her body or her health from breastfeeding the child, and she breastfeeds him with formula milk, is that permissible for her?

Answer:
By "formula milk," I mean milk that is not artificial, but milk that is preserved or packed with things that preserve it. That is fine; there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
