Is it permissible for a woman to wish to see the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in a dream, and to embrace and kiss him, and will she shake hands with him in Paradise?
It is not permissible for a woman to wish to shake hands with the Prophet (peace be upon him), neither in a dream nor while awake, because this contradicts Islamic law, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) never shook hands with non- women. Furthermore, wishing for this is considered ill-manners towards the Messenger (peace be upon him), for his sanctity, whether alive or dead, is the same, and he must be honored and revered, as the righteous predecessors did. Seeing the Prophet (peace be upon him) is a grace and success from Allah, and it is granted to those who are most pious and most adherent to his . As for women shaking hands with him in Paradise, that is a matter of the unseen, the knowledge of which is with Allah the Almighty, and one should busy oneself with what will lead them to Paradise.
