Shaking hands with a cousin or maternal uncle’s daughter upon returning from a journey

The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on shaking hands with a cousin or maternal uncle’s daughter when a man returns from his journey?

The Shaykh:
What? Repeat it, repeat it?

The questioner:
He says: Shaking hands with a cousin or maternal uncle’s daughter when a man returns from a journey.

The Shaykh:
Shaking hands in this manner is not permissible, whether from a journey or not. One should say, “May Allah welcome you,” “Praise be to Allah for your safe return,” “How are you?”
And praise be to Allah for your safe return. As for shaking hands, no, he does not shake hands except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry), such as his sister, his aunt, or the like. As for his maternal uncle’s daughter, his cousin, his brother’s wife, or his uncle’s wife, he does not shake hands with them. He shakes hands with his mahrams. There is no harm in shaking hands with his father’s wife, his grandfather’s wife, or his son’s wife. But his brother’s wife or his uncle’s wife, no; or his cousin or his maternal uncle’s daughter, no. They are not mahrams. But he greets them with kind words. Yes.
