The suckling that establishes prohibition must consist of five full sucklings within the two years (of infancy), according to the preponderant opinion. So, if the woman suckled the questioner's mother five full sucklings before the completion of the two years, then suckling is established. The sons of that woman are considered maternal uncles to the questioner, and her daughters are considered maternal aunts to him, due to everyone sharing the same mother's breast in suckling.
