Another questioner:
I have a question. May you live long.
The presenter:
Please proceed.
Another questioner:
May you live long, I have a brother from my mother, not from my father. I saw a woman breastfeeding my brother, who is from my father but not from my mother. I saw this, so is it permissible for me to marry her or not? I saw this, and then I noticed that you are his brother. The television does not want us to have the answer directly when we want it on the television.
The presenter:
All right, thank you.
The Shaykh:
If he was breastfed by your mother, then he is your brother through your mother, and his daughter is your niece; you are her uncle. You are her uncle. But if he was not breastfed by your mother, but rather by your brother’s wife, then she has no relationship to you through your brother from your mother. A woman who is a breastfeeding sister to your brother from your mother has no relationship to you. Your relationship is only with those who are breastfed by your mother, or by your sister, or by your mahrams. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
