"Prohibitive suckling makes the suckled child a sibling to all the children of the wet nurse. Scholars have differed regarding the establishment of prohibition based solely on the testimony of the wet nurse. The majority view is that it is not established, while the Hanbalis disagree. If the wet nurse only suckled your cousin's daughter once, then marriage to her is not prohibited, because suckling is not established except with five full and satisfying sucklings."
