Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner, Lam Mim, says: A woman gave birth to a child, and after a few days that child died. She asks: Is it permissible for me to express that milk from my breast and pour it into sinks or the like, since I have no one to drink it? And if I give it to a child who is not mine to drink from a milk bottle, will he become my son through breastfeeding? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
If this milk is causing her discomfort, she may express it. If there is a child who needs it, she should give it to him, and he will become her son through breastfeeding if he drinks from her milk five times or more. He will be her son through breastfeeding whether he sucked it from the breast or drank it from a nursing bottle, a cup, or otherwise. If she finds no one who needs it, there is nothing wrong with her pouring it out. Yes.
The presenter:
A specific place is required so that it is a place that is not disgraced.
The Shaykh:
Yes, she places it in a pure place, she places it in a pure place, yes.
