What is the ruling on marrying a milk sister?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for me to marry the daughter of a woman who breastfed me?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to marry the daughter of a woman who breastfed you, because you become her brother through breastfeeding. Her mother breastfed you, so it is not permissible for you to marry her because she is your sister through breastfeeding. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) mentioned among the prohibited categories:
your sisters through nursingوَأَخَوَاتُكُم مِّنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
God’s Messenger as saying, “What is unlawful by reason of consanguinity is unlawful by reason of fosterage.”صلى الله عليه وسلم يحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من النسب،
