Are the questioner's children, who were suckled by her mother for two consecutive months, considered siblings to the children of the questioner's older brothers?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your sons who suckled from your mother have become foster brothers to your brothers and sisters, due to Allah Almighty's saying: "And your foster sisters." Thus, your sons have become paternal uncles to your brothers' children and maternal uncles to your sisters' children; because what is forbidden by lineage is forbidden by fosterage, and Allah Almighty says: "Forbidden to you are your mothers, and your daughters, and your sisters, and your paternal aunts, and your maternal aunts, and your brother's daughters, and your sister's daughters."
