Får man skaka hand med motsatta könet?

  Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee (rahimahullaah) Question:Is it permissible to shake the hand of the strange woman who comes for the purpose of accepting Islam; and if one does not shake her hand, then this may have the opposite effect, and she may think that she is (being) belittled; so what does the Muslim do in this situation?Answer: It is not permissible to shake her hand due to what At-Tirmidhee narrates in his Jaami’ on the authority of UmaymahbintRuqayqah; she said: Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ said:“I do not shake hands with women.”Likewise, due to that which Al-Bukhaaree narrated in his Saheeh on the authority of Aa’ishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, who said about Allaah’s Messengerﷺ: “By Allaah, his hand never touched the hand of a woman.”At-Tabaraanee narrated in his Mu’jam from Ma’qil ibn Yassaar, may Allaah be pleased with him, who said: Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ said:“For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than to touch a woman who is not permissible for him.”What is understood is that this is not from the perspective of belittlement. However, it is a religious matter. Moreover, along with handshaking comes looking and speaking. So it is a must that things be predicated upon a proper foundation. I have mentioned the Hadeeth of Umaymah bint Ruqayqah; in it a woman said: “Will you not shake our hands O Messenger of Allaah, as you shake the hands of the men?” So he said:“I do not shake the hands with women. My statement to one hundred women is like my statement to one woman.”And the Prophet ﷺ would recite to them the verse which comes at the end of Soorah Al-Mumtahinah and then he would say to them:“Are you upon this?”And they would say: “Yes.” Source: http://muqbel.net/fatwa.php?fatwa_id=2734 (abdurrahman.org)Translated By: Aboo Moosaa Raha ibn Donald Batts
