Peace be upon you.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
The wife's aunt and maternal aunt are not considered mahrams (non-marriageable relatives), so it is not permissible to shake hands with them unless there is another relative connection, such as if they are also the aunt or maternal aunt of the husband.
May you be successful in all good.
