It is not permissible for you to marry a woman who was breastfed by a woman from whom you were also breastfed

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: I want to marry one of the girls, but there is a problem and I want to know the ruling of the Shari'ah in it, which is: I was breastfed along with the son of one of the families, and this girl was breastfed along with a daughter from this same family, meaning she was breastfed with the sister of the brother with whom I was breastfed. Knowing that I was not breastfed with any of this girl's sisters, and she was not breastfed by my mother, is it permissible for me to marry her?

Answer: If you were breastfed by a woman, for example (Zaynab), and she was also breastfed by her along with another boy or another girl, she becomes your sister, whether she was before you or after you, provided that the breastfeeding was complete and full, being five breastfeedings or more within the two-year period.
