A woman with no husband whose breasts produced milk and she nursed; is it possible for her to become a mother through nursing this child?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, a woman with no husband whose breasts produced milk and she nursed; is it possible for her to be a mother through nursing the child?

The Shaykh : How do you imagine this, given that she has no husband?

The questioner : Her body's hormones got messed up, so the pregnancy hormones came back.

The Shaykh : Okay, I am asking you a question now: A woman whose husband died ten years ago, is it possible for her milk to come in?

The questioner : ... She has no children and is not pregnant, and her daughter is grown up.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide you, you are talking nonsense.

The questioner : I do not know regarding the ruling. Okay, I saw a woman whose daughter is grown up, and she is not pregnant and not nursing her daughter, having weaned her a long time ago, and her breasts produce milk.

The Shaykh : Yes, but it would be if her husband was near death; it is possible her husband was near death, and that would be the cause of this milk. And so, and so, I gave you an example, as they say in our region in Syria, "Al-Awlaya." I told you: a woman whose husband died ten years ago.

The questioner : I am asking one question, just one.

The Shaykh : I know it is not likely, but I do not care. I care whether your question comes from you or is repeated from someone else. I care that the question is realistic. So, a woman whose husband died ten years ago, is it possible for her milk to come in? I do not consider this possible.

The questioner : She told me that the question is that it is possible, even if she is not married, she said it is possible for her milk to come in. We need a question; she said it like this. She said there are women since they got married and their husbands' milk comes in.

The Shaykh : I do not know. We should ask Umm al-Fadl; she must have knowledge of this matter.
