Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 1742 )
Q: Is it permissible to greet women if she has placed her shaylah between her hand and the hand of the man who is greeting her?
A: It is not permissible for a man to place his hand in a greeting in the hand of a woman who is not his mahram, even if she has placed a barrier with her garment; for al-Bukhari narrated in his (Sahih), may Allah have mercy on him,
from 'Urwah from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), in her narration of the story of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) taking the pledge of allegiance from the women. She said: , and what Ahmad narrated with a sound chain, from Umm 'Umaymah bint Riqqah who said: , and in him (peace and blessings be upon him) we have the best example, as He who sent him said about him: [Al-Ahzab 33:21] . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

No, by Allah, his hand never touched a woman's hand in the pledge of allegiance; he did not take their pledge except by saying: I have taken your pledge regarding that.
لا والله ما مست يده يد امرأة في المبايعة قط، ما بايعهن إلا بقوله: قد بايعتكن على ذلكI came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with a group of women to pledge allegiance to him, so he took from us what is in the Qur'an... until she said: We said: O Messenger of Allah, will you not shake our hands? He said: I do not shake hands with women; my saying to one woman is my saying to a hundred women.
أتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في نساء لنبايعه، فأخذ علينا ما في القرآن... إلى أن قالت: قلنا: يا رسول الله: ألا تصافحنا؟ قال: إني لا أصافح النساء، إنما قولي لامرأة واحدة قولي لمائة امرأةThere has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often.
لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَرْجُو اللَّهَ وَالْيَوْمَ الآخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا
