Question

Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedShaking hands with a non-mahram woman is not permissible in Islam, so what happened from your side is considered a sin. However, if it was done only as a formality and without any bad intention, it is generally not regarded as a major sin, though it should still be avoided.
You should sincerely repent from the heart, ask Allah for forgiveness, and try to avoid such situations in the future in a polite manner.
