Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Yes, it is permissible for the boy to marry the girl’s younger sister (ie his foster sister’s sister) as long as she did not breast feed from the boy’s mother. (Al-Hidaya, vol 2, pg 351,Shirkiyya / Fatawaa Rahimiyya, vol 8, pg 251, Dar Al-Isha’at)
And Allah knows best
