Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: An orphan was taken in by his maternal uncle after his father’s death, and he was raised in his uncle’s house. Is it permissible for him to marry his maternal uncle’s daughters?

Answer:
Yes, as long as there is no breastfeeding relationship between them, it is permissible for him to marry one of them. Even if he was raised in their father’s house, his being raised in their father’s house does not make him a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to them, nor does it make him a stranger to them, unless there was breastfeeding between them. Yes.
