Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Allah has sent you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on shaking hands with elderly women who are past childbearing age?
Answer:
This is not permissible. Shaking hands is done with words, the salam is given with words, and speaking to them is done with words. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) never touched a woman’s hand with his own hand, except one who was lawful for him. He only took the pledge of allegiance from women with words.
