Does shaking hands with a non-Muslim invalidate Wudu'?


A: Shaking hands with a non-Muslim is not one of the things that invalidate Wudu'. The Najasah (impurity) of non-Muslims is Hukmiyyah (ritual impurity without discernable characteristics) not `Ayniyyah (ritual impurity with discernable characteristics), and therefore your Wudu' does not become invalid by shaking hands with them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
