Shaking hands with women forbidden by shari'a

This will soon be the law in the UK if Archbishop/Mufti Williams gets his way :-)
But anyway, here is the hadiith:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, that would be better for him than his touching a woman who is not permissible for him.” Narrated by al-Tabaraani from Ma’qil ibn Yasaar; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ no. 5045.
