Does a breastfed infant become a brother to all the children of the wet nurse, regardless of their father?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Lafi, asks about breastfeeding by a woman other than the biological mother. He says: I was breastfed by a woman other than my mother, and she has a daughter. The number of days I was breastfed by her was seven days. This woman married two other men and bore sons from them. Are the sons of the other two men my brothers or not? Please inform us of this.

Answer:
If you were breastfed by a woman five times or more, then she becomes your mother through breastfeeding, and her children become your brothers from all the men: from the man who provided the milk, and from the men who married her after him. Whatever this woman bore before you, after you, or at the same time as you, they all become your brothers through breastfeeding. Yes.
