Fatwa #298119 May 2001United Kingdom

Does giving frozen maternal milk to an adoptive baby make it mahrem to me & other members of my family? What about the quantity of milk?

Question

although I have frozen a small amount - I need to know ASAP because my youngest child is already being weaned. Therefore I need to know how much and whether or not I should express more milk. Jazakallahu khairan ma-assalama

Answer

According to the Hanafi Madhab, breast milk, whether fresh or frozen given
to any child (including adoptive) within the first two years, causes
Hurmat-e-Radha`at (prohibition of foster relations).
