assalamu alaykum

i was wondering, how does the hanafi community deal with contemporary issues? Do the mujtahideen give a fatwa that everyone sticks to or is there flexibility on modern issues? For example would any hanafi scholars permit shaking hands with women?

Also what is the ruling on student loans with interest as they are going to raise the costs of uni to 9000 per year next year so if its haraam, noone can pay that apart from dodi al fayyad
