Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1379/1396/N=11/1435) It is lawful for you to marry your cousin (khala’s son) if there is no proof that your mother has breastfed him. Simply doubt shall not cause your nikah with him to be invalid. However, if as a precautionary measure, you do not marry him then it is better as it is possible that your mother might have forgotten to suckle him. That is why you heard that your mother has breastfed him.
