Ruling on Drinking Cow’s Milk After Miscarriage
Source: Aḥkām wa Masāʾil, Aḥkām regarding Food & Drink, Vol. 1, Page 449
❖ Question
One of our friends’ cow miscarried two months before completing the term. Can its milk now be consumed?
❖ Answer
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu was-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, Ammā Baʿd!
Yes, in such a situation it is permissible to drink the milk of the cow.
Qur’ānic Evidence:
Allah Almighty says:
﴿وَإِنَّ لَكُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ لَعِبۡرَةٗۖ نُّسۡقِيكُم مِّمَّا فِي بُطُونِهِۦ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ فَرۡثٖ وَدَمٖ لَّبَنًا خَالِصٗا سَآئِغٗا لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ﴾
— Sūrat al-Naḥl, Āyah 66
“And indeed, for you in the grazing livestock is a lesson: We give you drink from what is in their bellies—between excretion and blood—pure milk, palatable to those who drink it.”
❖ Conclusion
Therefore, even after miscarriage, if the cow produces milk, it remains pure and permissible for consumption.
ھذا ما عندي والله أعلم بالصواب
