1949. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "My paternal uncle through breastfeeding came to visit me and I refused to let him in. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Let your paternal uncle visit you.' I said: 'But it is the woman who breastfed me; the man did not breastfeed me.' He said: 'He is your paternal uncle; let him visit you.'" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1949 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: جَاءَ عَمِّي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيَّ، فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ عَمُّكِ» ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا أَرْضَعَتْنِي الْمَرْأَةُ، وَلَمْ يُرْضِعْنِي الرَّجُلُ، قَالَ: «إِنَّهُ عَمُّكِ، فَلْيَلِجْ عَلَيْكِ»

Commentary

Foster relations are established from both sides, that of the foster mother and the foster father; resulting in foster maternal uncles and aunts etc. The husband of the suckling woman becomes the father of the foster child; so his brothers and sisters will be child's foster paternal uncles and aunts etc.
