Hurmat-e-Musaaharah
Question
For humrat one must touch the other lustfully. Lustfully means a strong sexual desire according to the english dictionary. According to islam does it mean the same thing? So if one does not have a strong sexual desire humrat does not take place even though two people touched each other by shaking hands?
Answer
Lust according to us does not have to be a strong desire. Any desire will amount to lust.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
