Question:
The listener Fawwad sent a message asking: Is it permissible for a man to shake hands with his brother's wife and speak to her?
Answer:
Speaking to her is fine, but it must not be in seclusion with her; rather, it should be in the presence of others. As for shaking hands, that is also not permissible. It is not permissible because she is not lawful for him. He should only greet her with words. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
