Answer:

Muslim mother can donate breast milk

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Brother there are legal and Sharan consequences if a woman donates her breast milk for needy preterm babies. She would become their foster mother and much care has to be taken for such relations.

We would advise caution before doing such an act. A woman can donate her milk but a foster relation will have been formed and there are responsibilities that have to be taken care of. If one can fulfill that then there is no restrictions.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is only ones. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
