Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I have drunk milk of a woman in my chilhood becuase of absence of my mother, and now I want to marry her daughter. It is legal or not?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1046/1046=J)

All the daughters of the woman who suckled you in your childhood will become your razai (foster) sisters. They will be treated like your own sisters and it is haram for you to marry them: وامھاتکم اللاتی أرضعنکم و أخواتکم من الرضاعۃ (سورۃ النساء)
