1148. Āishah narrated: "My uncle through suckling came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused to admit him until I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Let him in since he is your uncle.'" She said: "It is only the woman who suckled me; I was not suckled by the man." So he said: 'Indeed he is your uncle, so let him in.'" (Sahīh)
(Abū 'Eisā said:) This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. This is acted upon according to some of the people of knowledge among the Companions
of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They considered the man's milk to be a prohibitor based upon this Hadīth of 'Aishah. Some of the people of knowledge permitted (marriage) in the case of the man's milk. But the first view is more correct.

Commentary
As a woman who suckles is the mother of the suckling, her sister is a maternal aunt of the suckling and her husband is father and her husband's brother is uncle, and her husband's sister is, paternal aunt of the suckling. These are foster relations.
