Husband shaking hands with female relatives

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When I got married I was shocked to see my husband shaking hands with his cousins, mamo’s wife and other females of the family. I told him that this is not right. Similarly putting hands on the heads of smaller than him but baligh girls. He says that he has no bad intention at all and it is a custom and matter of respect.

Bismillaah

A: This is disgraceful and it is disrespect shown to a Muslim woman. This must be immediately discontinued.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
