Question
Good evening, My wife pumped milk on Shabbat (using an electric pump on a Shabbat timer) due to engorgement, and we did not discard it. Can we use the milk post facto, or is it considered a Shabbat violation?
Answer
Hello,
It is forbidden to use the milk because it was pumped in violation.
She should have added a spoiling agent like soap into the pump bottle to consider the pumping as 'loss'.
