Is it permissible to marry a woman whose maternal aunt is a sister through رضاعة (radha'a, i.e., breastfeeding)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no legal impediment to your marriage to a woman whose maternal aunt is your sister through suckling, unless there is another impediment. The criterion for prohibiting marriage is that the wife is forbidden to the husband through suckling, lineage, or affinity.
