The Ruling on Shaking Hands with a Paternal Cousin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to shake hands with a paternal cousin?
Answer:
No, you do not shake hands with a non-mahram woman; you greet her with words. As for shaking hands, no, it is not permissible. The hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never touched the hand of a woman who was not lawful for him; he used to take the pledge of allegiance from women with words.
