Is Breast Milk Halal?

Q: Is human breast milk halal?

A: Yes, even male breast milk.  And yes, there is such a thing as male lactation.  Breast milk becomes haram when you take it directly from the breast and it does not belong to your wife or mother.  Drinking breast milk makes everybody family.  So when you with a strange woman who is not your mahram, suck her nipples until she lactates and you are now family.  Breast milk in food is also halal.  This is irrespective of the source.  It could come from your father-in-law, and it is still permissible.
