No. Even though some spiders have "hair", it is not the same kind that mammals have. Spiders are very different from mammals in many ways. All spiders belong to the phylum Arthropoda which consists of arachnids ( spiders, ticks, and mites), insects, and crustaceans. All mammals belong to the phylum Chordata, which consists of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.

Spider belong to a species called arachnids. They are neither mammals or insects. A mammal is warm blooded and reproduce by giving birth. Spiders on the other hand aren't warm blooded and they reproduces by laying eggs. Scorpions are related to spiders.

All mammals have hair, and females produce milk for their offspring. Some spiders have hair, but no spiders produce milk for their young.

Spiders are arthropods with external skeletons, Mammals are vertebrates with internal skeletons.

Nope. Mammals have distinct differences that exclude all arachnids.
