Handshake of Men with Women is Forbidden in Islam

Handshake of Men with Women is Forbidden in Islam

It was narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:


لأن يطعن في رأس رجل بمخيط من حديد خير له من أن يمس امرأة لا تحل له


It is better for a spike to be driven into your head than for you to touch a woman that is not permissable for you (to touch).


Muhammad Ibn Munkadir said that he heard Umamah bint Ruqaiqah say:


جئت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في نسوة نبايعه فقال لنا فيما استطعتن وأطقتن إني لا أصافح النساء


I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) with some other women, to offer our pledge to him. He said to us: "(I accept your pledge) with regard to what you are able to do. But I do not shake hands with women."


Al-Nasaai (4181) and Ib Maajah (2874)
