Summary
Breastfeeding with milk produced through hormone injections is permissible. This ruling is attributed to the Negeri Sembilan Fatwa Committee meeting held on 11-13 December 2012. Other answers on the same page state that a nursed child becomes a mahram to the woman who nurses, her husband and their descendants, and this status remains even if the wife is divorced or has died. A child born out of wedlock has family ties only with the mother's side, not with the biological father's family.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
