The Prohibitions Established by Breastfeeding
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Breastfeeding makes marriage to the breastfed children forbidden, but does it prevent marriage to all siblings from both sides? We ask for clarification. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: If a person is breastfed by a woman with a legally valid breastfeeding that establishes prohibition—and that is five breastfeedings or more, while the infant is within the first two years—then the wet nurse, her mothers, her sisters, her aunts (paternal and maternal), her daughters, her sons' daughters, and her daughters' daughters are forbidden to him, no matter how far down the line they are, whether they are from one husband or multiple husbands. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1445i.
However, it is not forbidden for his brothers who were not breastfed by the woman who breastfed him to marry her daughters, because she is not their mother; she did not breastfeed them, but only their brother. It is also not forbidden for her sons to marry the sisters of the breastfed child from her, because they are not her daughters, and they are not sisters to her sons due to the lack of breastfeeding. All of what we have mentioned becomes clear from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam). It is agreed upon that it is authentic.
And success is from Allah.

on account of fosterage as one is Mahram on account of consanguinity
يحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من النسبHowever, it is not forbidden for his brothers who were not breastfed by the woman who breastfed him to marry her daughters, because she is not their mother; she did not breastfeed them, but only their brother.

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