Shaking hands with a non-Muslim woman


218

Q 6: What is the ruling on shaking hands with a non-Mahram (not a spouse or an unmarriageable relative) Muslim or non-Muslim woman?


A: It is impermissible for a Muslim male's skin to touch that of a Muslim or a non-Muslim female who is a non-Mahram to him whether by shaking hands or by any other means. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
