hadith 3756
Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘As for any woman whom one can marry [i.e. not ones immediate relative], one must not shake her hand except from under a cloth, nor clasp her palm.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أمّا المرأةُ التي يَحِلُّ لَهُ أن يَتَزَوَّجَها فلا يُصافِحْها إلّا مِن وراءِ الثَّوبِ، ولا يَغمِزْ كَفَّها.
