Huzoor (rh): You know, to touch the hand is not an essential part of the baiβat. You can perform Baiβat in writing by applying your signature underneath after reading the conditions, and also you can repeat it verbally behind someone, that is the essential part. But to touch the hand is not essential. So they can always perform the essential parts like men do. There is no difference between that, between men and women in that respect.
