What is the ruling on shaking hands with the sister of one’s stepmother?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about shaking hands with the sister of his stepmother.

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. It is not permissible for you to shake hands with the sister of your stepmother because she is a non-mahram. As for your stepmother, you are a mahram to her, so there is no harm in shaking her hand. However, it is not permissible to shake hands with her sister, her aunt, or her maternal aunt, because they are non-mahrams.
