Fatwa number ( 13587 )
Q: Is it permissible for a mother to feed her child with Nido milk or any
similar milk if the mother's milk is not sufficient to nourish the child?
A: There is no harm in a mother feeding her child with formula, and this milk does not establish the forbidden milk kinship. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
