The answer

It is permissible for a woman to drink the milk of another woman. If the legal amount (five known sucklings, and the liquid was milk) is reached, then she becomes her daughter through breastfeeding. However, if the liquid was another fluid besides milk, jurists have differed on this matter. What is stated in the books of the Maliki school is that it does not prohibit, while the Hanafis hold that it assumes the ruling of milk and spreads prohibition. As for the harm of the fluid, one should inquire about it from doctors.
