Istifta 15073 — Medical Issues

What is the ruling on the custody of an infected mother with regard to her non-infected baby and also on breast-feeding?
Answer
She does not lose the right of custody of her baby; but she must adopt sufficient methods to ensure that the virus does not infect the baby. If it is probable —a considerable probability— that the virus may be transmitted through breast-feeding, it is necessary for her to refrain from it.
