This is not permissible as Prophet salla Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam said that it’s better to be nailed in your head by a metal needle than touching a non mahram woman. 

You must be bothered about what Allah thinks of you rather than what people say as there’s no obedience to the created at the cost of disobedience to the Creator. 

Sheikh here in Pakistan,very old women (60+) place their hand on the shoulder or on the head of men when they meet each other as a dua . Is this permissible. If I don’t allow her , she feels very bad and consider it a rude beahavior. What should I do? Is this permissible?
