The answer

It is forbidden to marry your paternal uncle's daughter if her mother breastfed you five known full feedings, because she is considered your sister through rada'a (wet-nursing), due to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: "What is forbidden by lineage is forbidden by rada'a."
