Marriage to the Cousin's Daughter with Whom He Breastfed with Her Brother

Question
A man wants to marry his cousin's daughter, but he breastfed with her older brother. Is it permissible to marry her or not?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: As long as his cousin's daughter also nursed from the same mother, she is also considered his sister by nursing. The important factor is the shared nursing from the same mother, not the time of nursing. Therefore, it is forbidden for him to marry her; because she is his sister by nursing, and God knows best.
