A person who nurses from the milk of a man's wife becomes a brother to all of that man's children, for fosterage (rada'a) in this context is equivalent to lineage (nasab). And this father's sisters and his daughters' daughters are considered unmarriageable (mahram) to the suckled person, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Indeed, fosterage prohibits what birth prohibits."
