It is forbidden for a child to marry the daughters of his wet-nurse's co-wife if these daughters are from the man whose milk the child drank. This is referred to as "milk of the stallion" (laban al-fahl). Ibn Abbas supported this prohibition with his statement, "The impregnation is one." Evidence for this is found in the of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding Abu al-Qa'is's brother, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to her, "Permit him to enter, for he is your uncle."
