۞
Ibn Abi Omir's sisters narrated that they went to see Imam Sadiq (a.s) and asked him: “Can a woman visit her believing brothers?” He said
“Yes.” Then they asked: “Can they shake hands with him?” He said: “It is fine if their hands are covered with cloth. When the women were swearing their allegiance to God's Prophet, the Prophet had pulled his hands into his sleeves, and they touched his sleeves.”
عن سعيدة وأيمنة أختي محمد بن أبي عمير قالتا: دخلنا على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) فقلنا: تعود المرأة أخاها في الله؟ قال
نعم، قلنا: فتصافحه؟ قال: نعم من وراء ثوب، كان رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لبس الصوف يوم بايع النساء فكانت يده في كمه وهن يمسحن أيديهن عليه.
