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.
