Summary
A milk brother cannot act as wali for his milk sister because there is no shared lineage (nasab) between them. Valid nursing makes them mahram, so marriage is forbidden and it is permissible to look at one another, live together and travel together as with a blood sibling. Nursing does not establish guardianship rights in marriage, and the valid order of guardians begins with the biological father and proceeds by lineage.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, abang susuan tidak boleh menjadi wali kepada adik perempuan susuannya. Ini kerana tidak ada persamaan nasab diantara keduanya.
