There is an article in the current Journal of Human Lactation on milk donation in Muslim countries.
 
You can read it here if you are an ILCA member: http://jhl.sagepub.com/content/28/2/125.full.pdf+html
 
To summarize, Muslim scholars have declared that pooled donor milk is okay because a) the mother does not directly suckle the other baby, b) because the milk is pooled, no one mother's milk makes up an entire feeding and c) when in doubt, consider the greater good.

P.S.  I like the term "breastfeeding beyond infancy" that someone else brought up.  It describes the situation without any possible judgement (real or perceived) attached.
