Marriage to the sister of a woman whose breastfeeding is in doubt

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My mother nursed my maternal uncle’s daughter for one day, but she does not know the number of breastfeedings. This girl, who was nursed along with my brother, has been proposed to, but she has another sister. I have a brother who wants to marry this other girl. Is that permissible? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
If she was nursed by your mother, do not marry her. If she was nursed the complete amount of five breastfeedings, it is forbidden in any case. If it is not known how many times she was nursed—five, less, or more—this is a doubtful matter. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 3984Sahih (Darussalam). Avoid it, and there are many women, praise be to Allah. Yes.
