The Ruling on Shaking Hands With Other Than the Mahram


Question :

Some men are in the habit of shaking hands with relatives whom they are not a Mahram to. But they do it by way of kinship or neighborliness. What is the ruling on this? And is it enough for him if she places a piece of cloth over her hand, with the intention of screening her hand?


Answer:

It is not permissible for a man to shake hands with a woman who is unrelated to him, even if she placed a piece of cloth over her hand when shaking hands. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
