Marriage to the daughter of a paternal aunt who breastfed three times

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Mu'adh, I want to marry my paternal aunt's daughter. My aunt told me that she breastfed me three times along with her eldest son. Is it permissible for me to marry her or not?

Answer:
Breastfeeding is considered complete when it consists of five suckles, where the child sucks the breast and milk flows to him, then he leaves it, then returns to it, for a total of five suckles. This is complete breastfeeding that makes marriage forbidden; the breastfeeding woman becomes your mother, and her daughters become your sisters.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
