The ruling on shaking hands with someone who touched a dog
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some non-Muslims, may Allah keep you safe, carry a dog and then shake hands with Muslims after their hand has been in contact with the dog. Is it permissible to shake hands with them?
Answer:
If the dog is dry, there is no harm in that, because his hand is not affected by the dog. However, if the dog is wet and he touches it while it is wet, the dog is ritually impure, so the moisture that has transferred from the dog to his hand becomes ritually impure. Yes.
