Is a woman sinning if she shakes hands with a man?
Question: 14044
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
It is not permissible for a woman to shake hands with a non-mahram man even if she is wearing gloves or she shakes hands from under a cloth or abayah. All of that counts as shaking hands even if there is some kind of barrier.
