Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: What is the ruling on marrying a sister through breastfeeding?

Answer:
It is not permissible,
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
, just as it is not permissible for you to marry your sister by blood, it is not permissible for you to marry your sister through breastfeeding, and so on.
