The answer

It has been previously clarified that shaking hands with a non- woman is forbidden and considered among sins and abominable acts. The fact that this handshake is a custom of Christians does not justify a Muslim woman abandoning her adherence to her religion, which has forbidden her from shaking hands with a man who is not a mahram to her, especially if he is a Christian. What draws the attention of disbelievers to Islam is a Muslim's adherence to their religion and their pride in its rulings and creed.
