Solution

Mg(OH)2+NH4ClNH4OH weak base
The reaction with NH+4 reduces the amount of OH ions, ie, they are 'consumed' from the equilibrium with magnesium hydroxide solid. So essentially, you are removing OH ions from the expression.
This will cause the solid to dissolve more in order to produce more OH ions to react with NH+4. The result of this is that the solid has become more soluble in the NH4Cl solution.
