A woman who breastfed several people, both women and men, in different years along with her own children, and also breastfed my mother; are these men considered my maternal uncles?

The questioner : In the last of the questions from this questioner from Dubai, the questioner H.F.A. recalls and says: A woman breastfed several people, both women and men, in different years along with her own children. She says, and she also breastfed my mother. Are these men considered my maternal uncles?

The Shaykh : It must be known that if a woman breastfeeds a child, whether a boy or a girl, five times or more, she becomes the mother of that breastfed child, and her children, both sons and daughters, become his siblings. Based on this, the children of the woman who breastfed the questioner’s mother become her mother’s brothers, and a mother’s brother is a maternal uncle to his sister’s daughter. Yes.

The questioner : May Allah reward you.
