Is it permissible for me to marry my cousin who I drank her mother’s milk with?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My parents are suggesting me to get married to my cousin who is mother’s brother’s daughter and 9 months elder to me, but my mother told me that I drank her mother’s milk in my childhood. Is it possible for me to perform Nikah with her? According to Shariah what is the judgment?

Answer

(Fatwa: 145/121/B=1433)

Your nikah with the said girl is not lawful because she is your foster sister.
يحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من النسب

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best

Darul Ifta,
Darul Uloom Deoband

This answer was collected from the official ifta website of Darul Uloom Deoband in India.
