Clarification that the wives of one's maternal and paternal uncles are not mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is my maternal uncle's wife, or my paternal uncle's wife, considered a mahram for me?

Answer:
Your paternal uncle's wife and your maternal uncle's wife are non-mahram, just like your brother's wife. Your brother is closer to you, and yet his wife is a non-mahram and not a mahram for you. Therefore, the wives of your maternal and paternal uncles are even more clearly non-mahram. You must not be alone with them, they must not uncover themselves before you, and you must not shake their hands, because they are non-mahram. Your maternal uncle's wife, your brother's wife, and your paternal uncle's wife are all non-mahram.
As for your father's wife, no, there is no harm. Your father's wife, and your grandfather's wife, whether through blood or through breastfeeding, are mahram for you. Your great-grandfather's wife is also a mahram. Your son's wife is a mahram for you through blood and through breastfeeding. Your daughter's son's wife is also a mahram for you through blood and through breastfeeding. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
