The answer

The husband's paternal cousin is considered a father to his wife if she was suckled by his wife, and thereby all his children and those suckled by his wife become her siblings. It is permissible for him to be in seclusion with her unless there is suspicion, due to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "What is prohibited by lineage is also prohibited by suckling."
