Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: My foster uncle came and asked permission to enter upon me. I refused to give him permission until I had asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about this matter. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, and I asked him about this matter. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: He is your uncle; you should have given him permission. Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! A woman suckled me, not a man. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The prohibition (of marriage) through suckling is the same as the prohibition through birth.
