sibling

Dear all,
Do you have a brother or a sister? instead of this, can we ask,
Do you have a sibling? I heard this sentence and I refered the dictionary but I understand another meaning like "children"
Thank you

Hi,

Siblings are people with one or more parent in common. Siblings may be adults or children.

For the OP, Do you have any siblings? cannot mean Do you have children?
