Is the husband's uncle considered a mahram for the wife? And is it permissible to shake his hand in the presence of the husband?

The husband's uncle is not a mahram for the wife, nor is his brother; rather, the mahrams are his father, his grandfather, and his son. As for his uncle and his brother, they are not mahrams for the wife. Yes.
