My Khala mistakenly breastfed my younger brother. Do all of her children become mahhram to me and all of my siblings. Can we marry her daughter to my elder brother.
         When the child drinks the breast milk of a woman it establishes a relationship with her that is called radha’at by which the woman becomes his murdhi’ah (suckling mother) and the father becomes a “suckling” father. The boy-in-question’s brothers and sisters, however, do not become haraam on the sons and daughters of the suckling mother, since there is no direct relationship established between them due of the suckling. (The boy himself, however, will not be able to marry any of the children of that aunt).
