The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He asks and says: Is it permissible for one of my brothers to marry a girl who is my foster sister?

The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for you to marry a girl who is your foster sister, because when Allah (Mighty and Majestic) mentioned the prohibited relatives, He said:
your sisters through nursingوَأَخَوَاتُكُم مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)

The questioner:
As for my brothers, may Allah keep you safe.

The Shaykh:
As for your brothers who have no foster relationship with this girl, there is no objection to their marrying her. Even if she is your foster sister, it is permissible for your blood brother to marry your foster sister. Yes.
