Marriage to the daughters of the woman who breastfed his son, other than his wife

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. My wife has passed away, and I have a child from her who is about seven years old. My uncle’s wife breastfed him, and this uncle of mine has daughters. I want to marry one of them, knowing that their mother breastfed my son, and he has now mixed his milk with hers?

Answer:
There is no blame on you; you may marry. It is permissible for you to marry the daughters of the woman who breastfed four sons, because she is not your wife. You are a stranger to her, so the only restriction is what is forbidden to your son who was breastfed; he is the one who may not take from her daughters or their daughters. As for you, you are a stranger to her, and the fact that she breastfed four sons does not affect you.
