Q: A boy turning 12 years in a week, refused to shake hands with non mahram women. This caused a problem within the family as the father feels humiliated. Now he is forced to apologize to them and shake hands thereafter. What is the right age for a boy to stop shaking hands and to lower his gaze and please advise what should he do now?
A: It was not right for the boy's father to force his son to shake hands with the non mahram. When a boy reaches the age of 12 lunar years, many laws of a baaligh person apply to him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
