The answer

It is permissible for Ammar to marry your daughter if your mother and your maternal aunt (Zainab) testify that the one nursed by your maternal aunt (Amnah) was Anas and not Ammar. Their testimony is sufficient. In fact, testimony regarding fosterage is established by a single woman; the proof for this is the hadith of Uqbah bin Al-Harith in Sahih Al-Bukhari, where the Prophet (peace be upon him) separated him from his wife based on the testimony of one woman who had nursed them both, as mentioned by Ibn Qudamah in Al-Mughni.
