Marrying the Brother in Nursing
A girl was breastfed by her aunt's wife, then she married the son of this woman who breastfed her, but he is not the child she was breastfed with, rather he is his brother. Is this permissible or does she become a sister to them all?
Answer
I say, and with God's assistance: The prohibition is established with this nursing child for all the children of that woman who nursed, and the marriage must be annulled; because their relationship is forbidden. They should consult the mufti to confirm the validity of the nursing arrangement, and God knows best.
