Can I marry my cousin’s daughter?

I would like to know if I can marry my cousin’s (Suleiman) daughter. My father and my cousin’s father were brothers. So we are first grade cousins. Is it allowed in Islam to marry my niece? I have read the story of Fatima and Ali, and they had the same linkage and Allah approved the marriage and they had healthy sons.
