The answer

If you breastfeed a child under two years of age five times, that child becomes your son through fosterage (radā'ah), even if the milk is produced due to hormone intake. This is the opinion of the majority of jurists. As for your husband, he is not considered the child's father through fosterage in this case, because the milk was produced due to medication and has no relation to him.
