It is permissible for your daughters to remove their Hijaabs in front of their maternal uncle from suckling Q. I have a wife and eight daughters from her and she has a sister who is fifteen years younger than her. A person had suckled from her mother and thus, became a brother of hers. My problem is that my daughters maintain that he is their maternal uncle from suckling and they don’t wear Hijaab in his presence, I prevent them from this but they refuse. I hope for information, may Allaah reward you with good. A. If the aforementioned man had suckled from the mother of your wife or from a wife of her father’s whilst she was married to him, five feedings or more whilst he was younger than two years then he is an uncle from suckling to your daughters. It is permissible for them to appear before him with no Hijaab and to be secluded with him, like the rest of the unmarriageable kin, due to the words of the Prophet (saw): “It becomes forbidden by suckling those relationships that are forbidden by kinship.” Agreed upon its authenticity.1 This is if there is no suspicion that prevents him from being allowed seclusion with any one of them. Sheikh Ibn Baaz [Fataawa Islaamiyyah: 3/324]
