Is it permissible for a woman to marry her paternal aunt's son if her mother nursed her paternal aunt?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"Suckling prohibits what is prohibited by lineage. So, a child who suckles from a woman becomes a son to her and to her husband, the owner of the milk. This applies only to the suckled child. Therefore, your uncle suckling from your mother does not prevent your marriage to your cousin (your aunt's son), unless there is another reason for the prohibition, knowing that the prohibitive suckling consists of five satiating sucklings."
