Is it permissible for a girl to marry her maternal male cousin if her mother breastfed her maternal uncle?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the maternal aunt breastfeeds the mother with prohibitive suckling (five satiating breastfeeds within the first two years of life), the aunt becomes a grandmother to the infant, and her children become maternal uncles to him. Consequently, marriage to her children is not permissible.
