The Imam Shaking Hands with Administrative Women Out of Fear of Problems
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from France says: An imam in France says that it is permissible for the imam to shake the hands of the administrative women because he fears problems, such as the mosque being closed, so he shakes their hands for that reason. Is his action prescribed?
Answer:
No, this is not prescribed. The hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never touched the hand of a woman who was not lawful for him, ever. He only pledged allegiance to the women by speech, and pledged allegiance to the men by shaking hands. As for the women, he pledged allegiance to them by speech and did not shake their hands. Yes.
