Question
Is it permissible to hold hands with your spouse in public? I will appreciate if you reply me as soon as possible.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.
There is no harm for a husband to hold the hand of his wife in public unless it is considered a weakness in virility or a lack of bashfulness in the customs of a given country; in such a case it should be avoided.
The scholars 
stated that one should take into consideration the customs of the people as long as that does not contradict Islamic Law.
Allaah knows best.
