Is it forbidden to shake hands with children?

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

There is no harm for touching and shaking hands with children who are bellow the age of desiring women if the woman is one with a sound nature (does not feel sexual inclination towards kids).

Allaah Knows best.
