The ruling on breastfeeding is limited to the one who was breastfed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Finally, your eminence, Shaykh Salih, asks about breastfeeding. He says: My brother was breastfed by one of the girls, so is it permissible for me to marry her, or is she also my sister? I ask for clarification. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If your brother was breastfed by her mother, or if he and she were breastfed by another woman, and you were not breastfed, and she was not breastfed by your mother or your father’s wife, and you were not breastfed by her mother, then there is no barrier to your marrying her, even if she is your brother’s sister through breastfeeding. This is because the ruling is limited to the one who was breastfed only, and it does not extend to his brothers. Yes.
