The answer

Lactation establishes the same prohibitions as lineage, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What is prohibited by lineage is prohibited by lactation." So, whoever suckles from a woman becomes a son to her and to her husband, the owner of the milk, and a brother to all her children. Therefore, if your maternal aunt's daughter suckled from your mother five full and satisfying breastfeeds or more, she has become your sister through lactation.
