Marriage of the Breastfeeding Brother’s Sister to the Breastfeeding Sister

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man and a girl are breastfed by the girl’s mother, the girl becomes the man’s sister. Is it permissible for his younger brother to marry this girl?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, because he has no relationship through breastfeeding. Breastfeeding does not extend to the brothers; it only extends to the children of the one who was breastfed.
