Her Uncle Was Breast-fed With Me by My Mother, so is She Permissible to Me?

Question :

My maternal uncle has a daughter and I would like to marry her, but there is a problem of breast-feeding between her paternal uncle her father's brother and myself. Her uncle was breast-fed with me by my mother, who is also naturally the sister of the girl's paternal uncle, who is my brother through breast-feeding. At the same time, my maternal uncle is my mother's brother; bearing in mind that we do not know how many times he was breast-fed, is she permissible for me or not?

Answer:

This breast-feeding does not affect you, since the girl was not breast-fed by your mother, nor were her father or mother breast-fed (by her), nor were you breast-fed by her mother or her father's wife. So her paternal uncle's breast-feeding does not affect you; indeed, nor does the breast-feeding of her brothers, because the ruling concerns only her and those from whom she is descended. Accordingly, she is permissible to you, Allah Willing, especially since there is doubt about the number of times it took place, and the basic principle is permissibility. And Allah knows best.
