What is the ruling on touching an empty bottle of wine in a house of foreign women who do not fast?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

If the wine bottle is empty and there is no trace of liquid wine in it, then there is no harm in touching it. However, if there is a trace that clings to the hand, place, or clothes, the majority of jurists hold the view that wine itself is impure, and this is the most preponderant opinion. It is advised to leave working with these disbelieving women, for whoever fears Allah, He will make for him a way out and provide for him from where he does not expect.
