This suckling has no effect Q. My mother passed away whilst I was six months old and so my grandmother took up the task of my upbringing, she used to give me cows milk to drink. Sometimes, she would give me her breast to distract me as there was no milk in it, is it permissible for me to marry from the daughters of my uncles and aunts? A. It is permissible for you to marry from the daughters of your uncles and aunts due to the fact that your grandmother’s breasts were dry of milk and you didn’t receive anything whilst suckling, rather that was merely to keep you quiet. Furthermore she was old at the time and had no menses or hope of having children. There is no relationship or effective suckling which forbids you from marrying them. Sheikh Ibn Jibreen [Fataawa Islaamiyyah: 3/331]
