Is it permissible to marry the daughter of my brother who was breastfed by my sister?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to marry the girl in question unless there is proof of a Sharia-compliant suckling relationship between you two. The suckling of your brother by her relative does not prohibit her to you. The suckling that causes prohibition requires five known sucklings, according to the preponderant opinion.
