Is a girl's milk mother's husband's brother her Mahram?

Question: 

When a baby girl is adopted and breastfed by the adoptive mother, do the brothers of the adoptive father (married to the mother) become the baby girl's foster uncles and are they regarded as Mahram. 

The foster mother fed the daughter with hormonal tablets which created the milk within her.

In this case does the foster father become the foster daughter's Mahram, and do the foster father's brothers become her Mahrams or not?


Answer: 

Correct distribution of estate, Brother's right to inheritance

Question: 

My  other passed away in 2016. My brother pre-deceased her as he passed away in 1999. My mother received inheritance from her late father's estate to the value of +/- R502 048.44. This amount was equally distributed amongst the surviving 2 brothers, sister and the one deceased brother's family that passed away in 1999. 
1. Is this distribution according to Shari'ah? 
2. How should it be corrected? 
3. Is the deceased's brother's family entitled to a share?
