Insha Allah, so we thought to adopt a child. to make that child mahram to us, can my wife take medicine to produce milk and breast feed that child. Jazakallah

Answer

It is permissible for your wife to take medication to produce breast milk.

If the adopted child is given breast milk within the first two years of his/her life, then only will the child become a Mahram.
