The ruling on marrying the daughters of the woman who breastfed the suitor's son

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My wife has passed away, and I have a child from her who is about seven months old. My uncle's wife breastfed him, and this uncle of mine has grown-up daughters. I want to marry one of them, knowing that their mother breastfed this son of mine, and he has now been breastfed by her. What is your opinion?

Answer:
There is no harm in this. You may marry the daughters of the woman who breastfed your son, because she is not your wife; you are a stranger to her. It is only forbidden for your son, the one who was breastfed; he is the one who may not marry her daughters or her granddaughters. As for you, you are a stranger to her, and it does not matter that she has four sons. Yes.
