Breastfeeding After Taking Lactation-Inducing Pills

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A woman who does not bear children had an orphan in her care whom she was raising, or she was raising him. She wanted to breastfeed him, so she took pills that induce milk production. She then breastfed him five full feedings. Does this make her his mother through breastfeeding? And does her husband become his father through breastfeeding?

Answer:
Without a doubt, if she breastfed him milk from her breast and he was nourished by it, he becomes her son through breastfeeding, even if she took a means to induce the milk. The important thing is the presence of the milk. If the milk is present and the child suckles it and is nourished by it, he becomes her son through breastfeeding and also her husband’s son through breastfeeding. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
