Question:
Shaking hands with a girl who has not reached puberty?
Answer:
If she is very young, there is no harm in shaking her hand if she is under nine years old, because she is not a target for sexual desire. However, if she is nine years old or older, it is recommended to refrain from shaking her hand, because at that age she is a target for sexual desire and is considered a woman. Therefore, it is not recommended for a non-mahram man to shake her hand. This is what a believer should be cautious about to avoid evil. Yes.
