4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is it haram for men and women to shake hands? Nothing in the Quran or Sunnah explicitly says shaking hands with the opposite sex is haram; that is a popular convention, not an established ruling. The iron-rod hadith is not authentic as claimed, and many scholars read its 'touch' as a euphemism for sex.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Should I refuse to shake hands with the opposite sex where it is the custom? Follow the convention you are in: where people do not shake hands, do not; where they do, you may act on the fatwa of the scholars who permit it, since no clear verse or hadith forbids it. Losing citizenship over a handshake was not a battle worth choosing.
