Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah for His goodness. Praise be to Allah for everything.
The questioner : We wanted to ask you: Is it permissible to shake hands with mahrams through breastfeeding?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible.
The questioner : Okay, what does that mean? No harm, what is the reason for the ruling? Why? Can we know?
The Shaykh : What does this question mean? It is permissible for you to see the hair of a mahram.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh: Why?
The questioner : Because she is a mahram to you.
The Shaykh : And shaking hands is like that, may Allah guide you.
The questioner : But shaking hands might be with a sister through breastfeeding who is somewhat distant from you, so she would be a stranger to you according to custom.
The Shaykh : And is it permissible for one who is somewhat distant from you to see her hair?
The questioner : It is permissible in certain cases, of course.
The Shaykh : I am telling you about the case, may Allah guide you. In this case you are imagining, is it permissible to see her hair?
The questioner : It is permissible.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : I am not telling you that she is a mahram to you from...
The Shaykh : And I am telling you like this...
The questioner : No, my intention is if we resorted to a type of juristic preference (istihsan), deviating from an obvious analogy to a hidden analogy. The obvious analogy is to say, for example, that she is analogous to a mahram like a sister from the mother, of course. So if, for example, we analogize her to any woman who is a mahram, that is a hidden analogy for the cause of the likelihood of desire...
The Shaykh : What Allah willed, then you have applied the analogy and it is forbidden for you to see the hair of your breastfeeding sister. What do you think of this obvious or hidden analogy, call it what you will?
The questioner : Okay, peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. Haha, Allahu Akbar.
Another questioner : May Allah help you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah for His goodness. Praise be to Allah for everything.
