Question:
Do my maternal uncle’s daughters have to observe hijab in front of me? May Allah reward you with good. Yes, it is obligatory for your maternal uncle’s daughters to observe hijab in front of you, because they are non-mahram; they are not among your mahram. Yes. Unless there is between you and them.

Answer:
and between them a breastfeeding relationship that makes marriage forbidden, in which case you would be among their mahram. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Breast-feeding makes unlawful (for marriages) the same things that blood tie make unlawful.يحرم من الرضاع ما يحرم من النسب
Sunan Ibn Majah 1937Sahih (Darussalam)
In a narration, it states that breastfeeding forbids what birth forbids, if there is a breastfeeding relationship between you and them. In that case, they are among your mahram and do not have to observe hijab in front of you. But without a breastfeeding relationship, they are non-mahram and it is obligatory for them to observe hijab in front of you. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He reward you.
