Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from Belgium says: I used to work at a youth care organization there, and I was sometimes compelled to shake hands with women, as is customary in our country. I left the job for the sake of Allah, but now, with many needs and a pressing need of my own, is it wise to return to my job out of necessity, or do you advise me not to return and not to engage in this handshaking?
Answer:
You must not return to a place that contains what you mentioned, and Allah will provide for you. Provision is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
