The answer

If Zayd nurses from 'Amr's mother, then marriage to all of 'Amr's mother's daughters and her husband's daughters is forbidden for him. However, if Zayd and 'Amr nurse from a woman who is a stranger to both of them, or from Zayd's mother, then there is no harm in Zayd marrying 'Amr's sisters. It is stipulated that for nursing to be prohibitory [of marriage], it must be five nursings or more.
