Is it permissible to marry a girl who was suckled by the questioner's brother's daughter from her mother four times, two of which were consecutive in the same sitting, knowing that the infant did not suckle well and was crying, and does the ruling differ if the number of sucklings exceeds five?

It is permissible for you to marry the engaged girl, unless you both were suckled by the same woman. Your niece being suckled by her mother does not, by itself, prohibit marriage to her.
