Answer
It is not permissible to marry one?s foster cousin, if they were breastfed by the same women in infancy, i.e. till the age of two. However, if the foster brother and sister got married unknowingly, the marriage is null and void. The husband should verbally terminate the union. (Fataawa Mahmodiyah vol.10 pg.344)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
