The Ruling on Shaking Hands with a Non-Mahram Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, he asks your eminence, saying: Is it permissible to shake hands with a non-mahram woman?
Answer:
It is not permissible to shake hands with a non-mahram woman, meaning one who is not among her mahram relatives, because this leads to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not shake hands with the women who came to him for the bay'ah (pledge of allegiance), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not take the pledge from women except by the salam (greeting of peace). His hand (peace and blessings be upon him) never touched a woman who was not lawful for him. We have in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a good example. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good.
