Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
MY MOTHER DIED LONG AGO AND I’VE BEEN BROUGHT UP BY MY PATERNAL UNCLE AND AUNT. IS MY FOSTER MOTHER NOW A MAHREM FOR ME??

Answer

(Fatwa: 1623/1288/L=1430)

If your aunt did not breastfeed you in your infancy, she is not mahram for you; rather you have to observe purdah with her.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
