Is it permissible to marry the daughter of the woman who nursed my younger brother through fosterage, when he himself was nursed by the questioner's mother?

You may marry that girl, as your brother's suckling from her mother does not affect you. She is a suckling sister to your brother, but not a sister to you. Suckling pertains specifically to the infant, not to his brothers and sisters.
