What is the Shariah's view on Milk Banks?

Question

What is the Shariah's view on Milk Banks?

Answer

Since there is no way to establish whose milk is fed to the babies from a milk bank, it is not permissible to establish such banks. It is haraam for Muslim women to 'donate' their milk to milk banks, and it is haraam to feed Muslim babies with such banks. Anyone who desires a detailed explanation may write for our article on this topic.
