The ruling on speaking with a Woman and touching her Hand during the daytime in Ramadhan

Question :

What is the ruling on speaking with a woman or touching her hand during the daytime in Ramadhan for the fasting person? This is while keeping in mind that the likes of this occurs in some of the places of business and shops.

Answer:

If the man's speaking with the woman is without any suspicion or lustful intent in speaking with her, be it being for business negotiating, asking for directions and similar things, or he touches her hand unintentionally, then that is permissible during Ramadhan and other times. However, if his speaking with her is with the intent of seeking pleasure in conversing with her, then it is not permissible, whether it is during Ramadhan or any other time. Actually, it is even more severely prohibited during Ramadhan.
