Does the suckling that occurred between the eldest brother and the paternal aunt, which resulted from their being nursed by the paternal grandmother, include all siblings or only the eldest brother? And is it permissible for the mother to propose to her maternal uncle's daughter for the middle brother, knowing that the paternal aunt (the sister of their grandmother's husband) is married to the maternal uncle?

A woman is permitted to propose on behalf of her son for a girl, as she is not a forbidden () relative to him. Fosterage (rada'a) includes the older brother who was nursed by the questioner's paternal grandmother and those nursed with him. It does not include the questioner himself, nor does it establish prohibitory kinship (mahramiyyah) between him and his older foster brother's siblings.
