"What is the ruling on the mahram status of the first husband's children and their maternal uncles to the baby girl whom she breastfed? "
If Maryam breastfeeds a female infant five distinct feedings within the first two years (of the child's life), the infant becomes her foster daughter and a sister to all her children, as well as a sister to her husband's children ( her husband). And when fosterage is established, Maryam's brothers and her maternal uncles become ** to this infant, because the maternal uncle of the (foster) mother is considered the maternal uncle of her (foster) children, and because what is prohibited by lineage is also prohibited by fosterage. This includes nieces, regardless of how far down the lineage they are.
Therefore, it is permissible for Maryam's brothers and her maternal uncles to greet this infant.
