Shaking hands with a milk sister, seclusion with her, and traveling with her

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible to shake hands with a milk sister, be secluded with her, and travel with her?

Answer:
Yes. This milk relationship forbids what birth forbids. You are one of her mahram (a relative one may not marry) through the milk relationship. Yes.
