The Ruling on Shaking Hands with a Non-Mahram Woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.

The questioner : Is it permissible for a man to reconcile with a non-mahram woman?

The Shaykh : Is anything permissible?

The questioner : It is permissible for a non-mahram man to reconcile with a non-mahram woman.

The Shaykh : Look at her? No, it is not permissible.

The questioner : Well, some scholars answered that and said it is considered blocking the means to fitrah.

The Shaykh : But the stronger position is that it is not permissible.

The questioner : The stronger position is that it is not permissible.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : And there is a hadith they cite as evidence; some scholars cite as evidence that the women of the Companions used to treat the wounded.

The Shaykh : Know that the hijab of the woman from the man had two states; initially it was permissible, and then it was abrogated.

The questioner : That was abrogated.

The Shaykh : That was abrogated, and the abrogation in which permissibility is found is based on what was before the abrogation.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : Because abrogation has come, and what came before it is superseded by it, and in the Shari'ah, the last ruling is taken.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you.
