Are the children of the stepfather from another wife considered foster siblings to the questioner's daughter if the questioner's mother breastfed her daughter?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If your daughter breastfed five times from your mother's milk, which resulted from intercourse with the suitor's father, then your mother becomes a wet-nurse mother to him. All sons of your mother's husband (the suitor's brothers) become milk-siblings to your daughter, so none of them can marry her. As for you, you may marry one of your mother's husband's sons from a different mother, as they are non-mahram to you. The prohibition of marriage extends from your daughter to her descendants, but not to her collateral relatives or ascendants.
