Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the female listeners, who identified herself by the initials (F. A. 'A.) from Riyadh, asked a number of questions, one of which was: If I shake hands with male mahrams while I am fasting, does that affect the fast? And does it also affect the wudu and the prayer?
Answer:
No, it does not affect it.
The presenter: It has no effect.
The Shaykh: Yes, if you shake hands.
The presenter: Yes.
The Shaykh: It does not affect it... but do not shake hands except with mahrams only, such as her husband, her brother, her paternal uncle, or her maternal uncle. As for a non-mahram, or her sister's husband, or her husband's brother, she does not shake his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes...
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
