Shaking
hands with women who one is not mahram to
*Please appropriately reference
this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question:
Why has Islaam forbidden shaking hands with women who one
is not mahram
to? And does one’s wudhoo.
became nullified if he shakes the hand of a woman without
desire?
Response:
Islaam has forbidden that (shaking hands with women who one
is not mahram
to) because of the fitnah
(which exists therein) and the greatest fitnah
is for a man to touch the skin of a woman (ajnabiyyah);
and everything which leads to any fitnah
has been legislatively forbidden. Therefore, one is commanded
to divert his sight as a preventative measure. As for one
who touches his wife, then this does not nullify the wudhoo.
Even if it is done with desire, until any prostractic fluid
(mathee) or semen (manee) is ejaculated. So this then obligates
him to perform ghusl
if only semen is ejaculated and if it is (simply) mathee (prostractic
fluid) then it is sufficient to wash the private parts and
make wudhoo.
