Breastfeeding a child while the mother is pregnant

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman who is pregnant and has a daughter who is five years and four months old, and she is still breastfeeding her. Does this harm the new baby? Is there a fear of harm to the new baby?

Answer:
By Allah, this is something doctors are asked about. If it causes harm to the infant, the infant should be breastfed by another woman or given canned milk or something else that nourishes it. Yes.
