Is the maternal uncle (mother's brother) from the mother considered a mahram to the woman?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your maternal uncle's brother from his mother's side is not a forbidden (mahram) relative to you by lineage, unless there exists a fosterage (radha'a) relationship that makes him forbidden. He is not your mother's brother from her father or mother.
