ما حكم مصافحة النساء عند الإمام أبي حنيفة؟
The Hanafis consider it forbidden for a man to shake hands with a young, non-mahram woman. However, they permit it between two elderly individuals due to the absence of lust between them, citing the hadith: "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to shake hands with old women." Ibn Hajar said about this hadith, "I have not found it," and Az-Zayla'i described it as "Gharib" (unfamiliar/strange).
