A Muslim woman may breast-feed another woman's child. This establishes a mother-child relationship, so that the woman and the child could never marry, and her children are considered brother and sisters of the otherwise unrelated child she has fed. However, a child "in feeding" does not heve the inheritance rights that the children of a woman's own body have, not does the wet nurse automatically inherit from the child she has fed.
Surrogate pregnancy is not allowed in Islam because of the issues of parentage and inheritance.
