Question: Can a husband and wife take her hand in public?
Answer: Assalamu Alaykum Warahmatullah,
In general, the Islamic practice is that the signs of intimacy in the private sector are not beyond the public sphere.
But in itself the permissibility of taking hands in public would be referred to the custom of the country.
If it is accepted practice that the partners are taken hand, then it would be permissible as long as there is no indecency in front of others.
If it is accepted practice that couples hold hands, then it would be best avoided.
