The ruling on a man shaking hands with his wife's uncle

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, is it permissible for my uncle to shake hands with my wife?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : My uncle, my father's brother, is he allowed to shake hands with my wife?

The Shaykh : You mean your uncle, your father's brother; is he a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to your wife?

The questioner : Yes, that is the question.

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : No, he is not a mahram, is he?

The Shaykh : Yes, he must not shake hands with her.
