Q: I would like to ask you if a sister in-law shakes hands with her brother in-law and hugs him does his nikaah brake and also if the brother in-law shakes the sister in-laws hands and hugs her and stands next to her where their elbows and arms are touching? Please let me know as soon as possible.
A: No. She should make taubah and never repeat such lewd and shameful behaviour.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
