Is it permissible for a man to marry a girl who was suckled by his younger brother from her mother?

Your friend may marry this woman because there is no fosterage between them. As for his brother, he is forbidden to marry any of the foster mother's daughters, sisters, paternal aunts, or maternal aunts, as well as the daughters of the foster mother's husband if he is the source of the milk.
