Is it permissible for a woman to uncover herself in front of her daughter’s husband through breastfeeding?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman breastfed a girl, and then that girl got married. Is it permissible for the woman who breastfed her to uncover herself in front of the girl’s husband?

Answer:
Yes, if she breastfed her five times within the first two years, she becomes her mother through breastfeeding. She becomes a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, and the husband of this daughter becomes a mahram to her because he is the husband of her daughter through breastfeeding. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
on account of fosterage as one is Mahram on account of consanguinityيحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من النسب
Sahih Muslim 1445i
Just as your wife’s daughter fromفكما أن بنت زوجتك من
Yes.
