Is the girl I wish to marry forbidden to me because her elder sister was nursed by my elder brother?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The suckling of the girl's sister makes her your sister, and the suckling of your brother by her mother makes him a brother to all her children. You are a stranger to her, so there is no harm in your marriage to the sister of the suckled child with your brother, whether she is from your mother or her mother.
