I''ll just drop the question here because it has something to with the topic...

Its allowed to shake hands with the opposite sex if they are eldery:
It is prohibited to shake hands with non-immediate relations of the opposite sex, except when:
a) they are elderly; and
b) there is no fear of temptation or desire.
When not elderly, it is not permitted even without such fear, and is sinful. http://www.sunnipath.com/resources/Q...a00004158.aspx So it is allowed if one is old and there is no fear of fitnah. But can someone present to me the daleel for this statement? I once read that Abu bakr shook hands with old women...
