Question:
He also says: A man married his cousin, and this cousin was breastfed along with his nephew, so she and his nephew are siblings through breastfeeding. Is this marriage valid? And what is the solution? Knowing that the wife has a daughter and two sons? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
If she was breastfed by his brother's wife five times or more within the two-year period, then she becomes his brother's daughter through breastfeeding, and he becomes her uncle through breastfeeding, so she is not permissible for him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam). Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
