Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
A questioner asks, saying: My brother passed away and left behind a son,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
who was breastfed by him for a full six months.
The Shaykh:
And from their mother.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
And from his mother to...
The questioner:
From his mother for a full year, then he was breastfed by his paternal grandmother for a full year. Is my daughter permissible for him or not?
The Shaykh:
If he was breastfed by his grandmother three times or more, he becomes a brother. If it was his father's mother, he becomes a brother through his father and a brother to his paternal uncles. If it was his mother's mother, he becomes a brother through his mother and a brother to his maternal aunts, and an uncle to his paternal cousins, because he has become a brother to his father, and an uncle to his paternal female cousins, who are not permissible for him. Likewise, if it was his mother's mother, he becomes a maternal uncle to his maternal cousins, a maternal uncle to them through breastfeeding, and a maternal cousin by blood. Therefore, it is not permissible for him to marry any of his maternal aunts' daughters, nor any of his paternal cousins' daughters in this case, because he is an uncle to his paternal uncles' children and a maternal uncle to his maternal aunts' children.
