Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the author’s (may Allah have mercy on him) statement, “A young girl came, and he took her hand,” is it understood from this that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) touched the hand of the young girl?
Answer:
A young girl; there is nothing wrong with touching her, and there is no desire involved. It is only the hand of an older woman that must not be touched.
