Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first question: Is it permissible for a woman divorced with a final divorce to shake hands with and greet her maternal uncle? By maternal uncle, I mean the one who became her maternal uncle after her marriage, not her actual maternal uncle, her brother, or her father?

Answer:
Yes, her husband's father is a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, whether her son divorced her or not; he is a mahram. Allah mentioned the wives of your sons among the prohibited in marriage
the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loinsوَحَلَائِلُ أَبْنَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلَابِكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:23]
, so she is a mahram to him. Yes.
