Are the brothers of a child who was breastfed by a woman her sons?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman breastfeeds a child five times within the first two years, do all of the child's brothers become her sons? And do all of her sons become brothers to the child?

Answer:
If a woman breastfeeds a person five times or more within the first two years—while he is still within that period—then he alone becomes her son. His brothers do not; those who were not breastfed are not her sons. Only he becomes her son, and he becomes a brother to her children, both male and female. Her husband, if she was married to him at the time of breastfeeding, becomes his father through breastfeeding. Her mother becomes his grandmother through breastfeeding. Her brothers become his maternal uncles through breastfeeding, and her sisters become his maternal aunts through breastfeeding.
As for his brothers, they are not her sons. Breastfeeding is specific to him. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
