I have had milk from my grandmother who now is my suckling mother, So my aunty is also my suckling sister. Is it permissible for me to marry her daughter (my cousin) she has not had any milk from my grandmother.
Is it permissible to marry the daughter of my cousin who was breastfed by my grandmother in addition to myself?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu `alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The relationship between you and your cousin is that of “foster brother and sister”[1], since your grandmother is also your foster mother. It is not permissible for one to marry the daughter of one’s foster sister.[2]
The above ruling will not differ whether the daughter of one’s foster sister was suckled by one’s foster mother or not.
And Allah knows best.

No, you cannot do so because this nikah is haram. Your mother (who is nani/grandmother of the boy) became his foster mother and you (mamu/uncle of the boy) became foster brother of the boy and your daughter became foster bhatiji (niece) of the boy. It is haram to marry one’s foster bhatiji (niece) as it is haram to marry one’s nasabi (genealogical) bhatiji (niece).
