He isnt alone in his opinion, there are others who hold it including Qardawi also who explains this.

Some believe the hadeth:

“If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with a piece of iron it would be better for him than if he were to touch a woman whom it is not permissible for him to touch.” (Reported by al-Tabaraani; see also Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5045).

is not actually Sahih and is disputed. What an Imam also told me that if there is a barrier than you can actually touch a woman as long as its without lust lol he gave me analogy with touching the private parts, wudu does not break if there is a barrier.

So far I havent found any clear evidence against it except the statement of Aisha [ra]. Allaau Alim


Im off from school by the way cuz we got a snow storm YAY!

you shouldnt jump to conclusions... at one of his lectures at TDC, someone asked him about the "infamous" incident that occurred, and he stated essentially that he did so because he felt "on the spot" and made a split-second decision.

afterwards, he asked Shaykh Salah as-Sawi about what he did, and shaykh Salah told him, "Just make istighfar."

I think this should clear up the big fuss that was made up about that matter. He made a slip. He realizes it. He's made istighfar. May Allah forgive us and him all our faults
