This article is derived from the book “500 Questions and Answers for Women” based on the fatwas of the scholars of the Haramain, translated by Hafiz Abdullah Saleem.
My mother was breastfed by a woman who also had co-wives.
Are the children of those co-wives considered my maternal uncles (mamoo)?
Since the woman in question breastfed your mother, she becomes your maternal grandmother (nani) through milk-kinship (رضاعت).
Her husband becomes your mother’s milk-father, and consequently, your milk-grandfather (nana).
Now, because the co-wives of this woman are also wives of your milk-grandfather,
their sons are your milk-uncles (رضاعی ماموں).
