Question:
Who are the mahram relatives of a wife? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. As for what follows, the verses concerning women in which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[An-Nur 24:31] in Surat al-Nur, and not [An-Nur 24:31]. So the mahram (a relative one may not marry) of a woman is her husband. The jurists mentioned a principle regarding this, saying: everyone for whom it is forbidden to marry her is forbidden to her in terms of lineage or a permissible cause.
And her husband's son, her brother's son, and her sister's son, and so on. Likewise, those for whom she is forbidden through breastfeeding, if he breastfed from her five times, or if he is her brother through breastfeeding, or her uncle through breastfeeding, or her brother's son through breastfeeding. This is based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam) Yes. May Allah reward you with good.

Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.
يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب.
