Is it permissible for Ahmad, who was suckled by Muhammad's wife (Maryam), to marry one of Muhammad's daughters from his other wife (Fatima)?

If Mary breastfed Ahmed five full, satisfying breastfeedings, then he is a brother to Fatima's daughters through suckling, and it is not permissible for him to marry any of them. However, if his suckling was less than five full, satisfying breastfeedings, then he is not their brother through suckling, according to the preponderant opinion.
