It is not permissible to shake hands with non- women. These are women with whom a man does not have a relationship of mahramiyyah (kinship, suckling, or in-law). Mahram women are those whom it is perpetually forbidden to marry, and they are mentioned in An-Nisa, verses 23-24. As for those whom it is forbidden to marry for a non-perpetual period, such as the sister or paternal aunt of one's wife, a married woman, or a fornicatress before repentance, it is forbidden to shake hands with them.
