<![CDATA[Purpose – This study examines breast milk donation through social media from the perspectives of health sciences and Islamic law and proposes an integrated policy framework to promote milk safety, ensure legal certainty regarding milk kinship, and protect recipient infants and donor families. Design – This study employs normative legal research using statutory and conceptual approaches. Research materials include legislation, Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI) Fatwa No. 28 of 2013, Islamic legal literature, scientific articles, relevant health guidelines, and publicly available documentation on the Lactashare platform. The analysis combines legal interpretation with health protection principles and maqāṣid al-sharīʿah (the objectives of Islamic law). Findings – Three key findings emerge. First, social media-based breast milk donation requires appropriate risk mitigation, including donor health screening, pasteurization in accordance with relevant guidelines, temperature control, and distribution traceability. Second, Islamic law emphasizes donor identity verification, documentation of breastfeeding sessions, and recording milk kinship relationships that may arise. The protection of life and lineage provides a key conceptual basis for regulating these practices. Third, digital donation systems require better integration of health safety standards, milk kinship records, and personal data protection. Research Implications – This study recommends a cross-sectoral policy involving relevant ministries, healthcare professionals, religious authorities, and digital platform operators. The proposed framework remains conceptual and requires empirical testing and stakeholder validation before broader implementation. Originality – This study proposes an integrated policy framework connecting health sciences, Islamic law, and digital governance to inform the development of comprehensive breast milk donation policies in Indonesia. ]]>
