Q: Is it permissible for my brothers to confront my maternal grandfather’s brother, since he is considered in the position of a maternal uncle? I ask you to inform me about this question. May Allah guide you and keep your steps firm; He is the All-Hearing, the Responsive.
A: The maternal grandfather’s brother is a maternal uncle to his granddaughters, and to the granddaughters of his granddaughters, no matter how far down the line they are.
