Is it permissible for a man to marry his paternal uncle's daughter, knowing that he was fully breastfed by his brother's wife, and that his brother was breastfed by this girl's mother?

If the suckling has completed its quota of five sucklings from the milk of his brother, then it is not permissible for the man to marry the woman; because she is his paternal aunt through suckling. The brother by lineage is his father through suckling, and the woman is the sister of his father through suckling. Thus, what is forbidden by lineage is also forbidden by suckling.
