If an infant is fed a woman's milk with a bottle after the milk was extracted, will the effect be the same as if the infant is suckled by the woman?

Question

If an infant is fed a woman's milk with a bottle after the milk was extracted, will the effect be the same as if the infant is suckled by the woman?

Answer

Yes, the effect is the same. During the period of breast-feeding the law of Hurmat-e-Radhaa-at comes into effect regardless of the method the baby is fed the milk. Whether the baby drinks directly from the breast of a woman or her milk is extracted and fed to the baby by means of a bottle or any other means, milk ties are established.
