As-salaamu 'alaikum!

In several translations of the Qur'an, the word 'lamasa' in 4:43 and 5:6 is translated as 'touch'. Hadith-centric Muslims will assert that 'lamasa' means to touch women, that is, shaking hands. Thus, if someone shake hands with a woman, then he has to do ablution. So what's the defintion of the word 'lamasa'?

Best wishes, Ijaz A.

While describing about Abulation (.Wadu) before Salath one has Rub on the face & feet with water and
while there is no water one has rub the face with soil. There is no mention of shaking hands with women in the Quran. This must be in any Hadith I suppose.
May entire creation be filled with Peace & Joy & Love & Light
