Are the brothers of the suckling brother considered brothers to the suckling brother/sister, and is it obligatory to maintain ties with the father of the suckling brother?
"Suckling establishes the same prohibitions that consanguinity establishes," as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "What is prohibited by lineage is prohibited by suckling."
If you suckled from a person's mother, you are a sister to all their siblings through suckling. It is permissible for you to greet them, uncover your hair in their presence, and for them to see from you what a man sees from his (unmarriageable kin) women (the head, neck, hands, and feet). You are not obligated to maintain ties with their father through suckling.
If a person suckled from your mother, or if you both suckled from an unrelated woman, the prohibition applies specifically to the suckling infant alone, not to their siblings. This means that their other siblings are not your siblings through suckling.
For suckling to establish prohibition, it must consist of five full, satisfying sucklings.
