5 ways to evade shaking non-mehram hands | |||||
There has been several times where girls outside my family circle have tried to offer a handshake. To my muslim brothers and sisters, in case you don't know, it is haram to be touching a girl that is not within your family circle. It was narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” So below are some tips and one liners that I've heard of to avoid handshakes. As the person offers a handshake... 1) ...you quickly take out your business card and hand it to him/her. 2) ...cough or sneeze on your hand, then shift your eyes from the palm of your hand slowly to her eyes and shake your head left to right. (Translation: Bad idea, H1N1 on the loose.) 3) ...raise your hand to show that you're about to give her a high five. When she raises her hand to give you one, you pretend to miss her high five and say, "dang! Sorry about that." (Yes I've tried this before and the girl just laughed) 4) ...if the person is Muslim, you could take the chance of saying, "no thanks. :)" so that he/she remembers that it isn't the right etiquette. (I've done this one twice) 5) ...if she isn't Muslim, kindly refuse and say that its a religious thing. No big deal if its a friend. If a hand shake is from someone of higher status its best to find a way to inform them earlier so that he/she doesn't get surprised in front of the group/crowd. You could do this by telling the people around you about it so that they could inform the "big boss". That's all I've got! Those are the 5 ways to evade shaking hands. Have you got any funny ways to deal with this situation? << Next Post | Previous Post >>
