In the Name of Allāh, the Entirely Gracious, the Exclusively Merciful

📩 Question:

The questioner asks: What is the ruling of a man shaking a womans hand with the excuse that she is his work collegue?

📝 The answer:

This action is from the Haram affairs, shaking hands with women is from the Haram affairs, i.e. shaking the hand of a foreign (non-mahram) woman.

Al-Tabrani narrated from Ma’qil bin Yassaar (رضي الله عنه) who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
(لأن يطعن أحدكم على رأسه بمخيط من حديد، خير له من أن يمس امرأة لا تحل له)
“For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.”

And the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
(إني لا أصافح النساء)
"I do not shake hands with women.”

And when the Prophet (ﷺ) took the oath of allegiance from the women, he would take it by speech, and he is the Messenger of Allah, he is in the place of a father for this nation, and with that he (ﷺ) did not shake the hands of the women, he would take the oath of allegiance from them by way of speech. He would say:
(انْطَلِقْنَ فَقَدْ بَايَعْتُكُنَّ بالكلام)
“Go, for you have given your pledge by way of speech.”

He would take the pledge of hearing and obeying from them by way of speech and he wouldn’t shake the women’s hands, and he (ﷺ) is a father for this nation.

He (ﷺ) said:
(إنما أنا لكم بمنزلة الوالد)
“I am like a father to you.”

And with that he did not shake the women’s hands, thus shaking the hands of non-mahram women is Haram, and it is obligatory to distance oneself from this.

‘A’ishah (رضي الله عنها) said:
وَاللَّهِ، مَا مَسَّتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَ امْرَأَةٍ قَطُّ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُبَايِعُهُنَّ بِالْكَلَامِ
“By Allah, the hand of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) never touched the hand of a woman ever, rather when he would take the oath of allegiance from them he would do so by speech”
Agreed upon.

As the person said: 'Looking followed with smiling and greeting… speaking followed by setting a date and then meeting.'
These are all Fitan (plural of Fitnah) which have become widespread amongst the Muslims, and there is no might and no power except by Allah.

It is obligatory upon the guardians of the women to have Taqwa of Allah with regards to their womenfolk, and to not allow his daughter and neither his sister to free-mix with men, and it is obligatory upon him to have Taqwa of Allah.
﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ﴾.
“O you who believe! Ward off yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones”

And how many men left their daughters, and allowed for her to have her freedom, and before he knew it after that he was trialled with his reputation being tarnished, and trialled with his close ones falling into Zina, and then after that from them is the one who wants to murder, and one that wants to disown, and the likes of this.

So this is from the Fitan that the enemies of Islam are striving towards to the highest degree by spreading it amongst the Muslims.

It is obligatory upon the leaders to separate between men and women, and that education is done for men separately and for women separately, and for the hospitals to have no free mixing within them, thus there being a section for women specifically separate from the men’s section.

And that which takes place from the extreme necessities, then the necessities have their own rulings. If a woman is in need to be treated by a man or the likes of this, then there is no issue.
