The answer

If a sister breastfeeds her sister five times within the first two years of life, before weaning, the latter becomes her daughter through suckling. The sister's husband then becomes her father, and the husband's brothers become her paternal uncles, based on the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) saying: "What is prohibited by lineage is also prohibited by suckling."
