Shaking hands with a non-mahram woman with a barrier

The questioner:
This questioner says: If one of us is surprised by a non-mahram woman extending her hand to him for a handshake, is it permissible for him to shake her hand with a barrier, such as the edge of a garment?

The Shaykh:
He should apologize to her, educate her, and say that handshaking is not done with women. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He should educate her, saying: "My daughter, my sister in Allah, forgive me. Handshaking is not done between men and women except with mahrams, with her sister, with her uncle, with her aunt, and with non-mahrams, she does not shake hands, even if she visits until the Day of Judgment."

Another questioner:
Even if it is not a smell.

The Shaykh:
And they went. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
