If your male cousin was suckled by your mother five times or more within the first two years (of his life), then it is not permissible for your paternal half-brother to marry his daughter, because she is his sister through rada'ah (suckling). This is based on the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "What is prohibited by lineage is also prohibited by suckling."
