What is the punishment for accidentally touching the hand of a non-mahram perfume seller?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
There is no harm for a woman in purchasing from a man, provided she avoids privacy () with him, and there is no softness in her speech or any suspicious act from her. The man, in turn, should not issue any act that touches the body of a non- woman, as this is unlawful. If you did not intentionally touch the man, there is no harm upon you, but you should seek forgiveness and repent. The man who committed the act should also do the same.
