The Prohibition of the Paternal Uncle and Maternal Uncle

Question:
Are my mother’s paternal uncle and her maternal uncle among my mahram?

Answer:
Yes, her paternal uncle and maternal uncle are among her mahram (relatives one may not marry); the rule is: a mahram is anyone with whom marriage is prohibited due to kinship, such as her maternal uncle, paternal uncle, or father, or due to a cause such as breastfeeding or in-laws, like the husband's father or the husband's son. These are the mahram. So the maternal uncle is a mahram, and the paternal uncle is a mahram. Even if he is the maternal uncle of her father, or the maternal uncle of her mother, or the paternal uncle of her father, or the paternal uncle of her mother, the paternal uncle of her father is her paternal uncle, and the paternal uncle of her mother is her paternal uncle, and likewise the maternal uncle of her father and the maternal uncle of her mother are her maternal uncles. They are mahram, even if they are higher up, such as the brother of her grandfather or the brother of her grandmother; they are her maternal uncles and paternal uncles. Yes.
