Is shaking hands with women acceptable in Indonesia?

If it's women in general, then the answer would be yes. But there are some Muslim women who would prefer not to shake hands. They will put both of their palms together, place them in front of their chest and give a small nod. It's the same as shaking hands. Muslim women only do this if they want to 'shake hands' with men though, especially if they are not muhrim.
