The answer

If a woman did not suckle from her sister, then there is no harm for her sister's husband's brother to marry her. However, if she suckled from her sister with her brother's milk, then she becomes his paternal aunt through suckling, and it is unlawful for him to marry her. The suckling of her sisters from their sister, or the children of her sister from their grandmother, does not affect the aforementioned marriage.
