			<description><![CDATA[I am quoting two sentences from above article and I'm wondering if they are typos? "Shaking hands (and touching) members of the opposite [censored] when closely related, is not permissable for Muslims according to the teachings of Islam." "Answer - First: It is not allowed for a believing man to put his hand in the hand of a woman who is not allowed for him (mother, wife, sister, daughter, etc.). Whoever does this has wronged himself (sinned)." I thought a believing man could shake the hands of his mother, for example. The above quotes indicate otherwise?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[EDITOR: Some people believe Quran is all that is needed to be a Muslim. Ask them to read chapter 3, verse 31 and also Obey Allah and obey the messenger? What does that mean to them? Anyway, we print their opinion here, but do not agree with their position Well, I have high objections to the stand in this article. All that you quoted as the basis of this teaching his hadith. Does hadith supersede the principal objective in the Quran? Is it actually stated anywhere in the Quran that we should make reference to any other book (Hadith) other than the one he the almighty as given to us? Are u saying these hadith contain what is missing in the Quran? If yes, is the Quran incomplete? While I do not completely reject the habit of reading some hadith to understand the happenings in the times of the prophet, I have high objections to the fact that we are taking things beyond that so much that there are many serious issues in Islam these days that is only premised on Hadith with no particular basis in the Quran. So why should we make particular importance to Hadith when it is full of contradictions based on the way it was collected and collated in the 1st place? and even based on one statement to the other that is claimed to have said by the prophet. _What this does is that it makes Muslims constantly feel inadequate and incomplete on how we practice our religion because there are somewhat infinite number of hadith out there that will always tell you how to sneeze, how to drink water, how to fart and so on. This pushes ppl to extremes that the Almighty Allah did not actually asked us to go. _I know many here might say I m crazy or may be I am not even a muslim but well, I would not practice my own Islam based on what some ppl are doing but rather based on what I am convinced in my heart that is true which is Al-quran the only book without contradictions and confusion. _Salaam [UNQUOTE]]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[orthodox jews don't shake hands with unrelated people of the opposite gender. it is permissible to shake hands with maharams or a small child. if looking at a non-mahram without neccesity is not allowed then how can touching be allowed. touching is more serious than looking. shaking hands with non-mahrams might lead to fitnah. Scholars of Shafie school prohibited shaking hands as a general rule, even the shaking hands of an aged woman since there is no exception in Ahadith.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am a fairly new Muslim and I do understand this article. I am not sure that it was covered in it but I do have a question. I am from America and it is custom here to shake hands with people when meeting. Is it not allowed between a Muslim woman and a person who is not Muslim as well as what has been stated in this article? I work in a business setting and many times am offered a hand. I have at times refused the handshake. Is this correct?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[As selaamu \'alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa berakaatuh br. Yusuf Estes,____I\'m living in Holland and I\'m learning to be a nurse. Giving a hand to greet a patient is a matter of course. I really try to avoid it. But it is really hard. Also at school it is very difficult, because we must firstly shake the hand, greet the patient etc. if we are practicing the \'nurse skills\' at school and in the hospital.The teachers are saying it is very important to have a good relation with your patient. A patient has to be comfortable with you so they can tell you every thing. I have never talked about this problem with my mentor/teachers but i guess they will use that argument and not accept it. ____Every sheikh/imam is saying it\'s haram but no one tells us how to deal with it, what to say to the non-muslims (teachers, patients, employers) etc. I hope you can help me, because I really want to please Allah soubhana wa ta\'ala. I really want to be usefull to the world and that is the reason why a choose this study. But which study you choose this problem will always exist. Should I quite my study? ____I apologize for my bad english.____Wa Allahu A\'lam. I ask Allah soubhana wa ta\'a to guide us all to Jannah Al Firdaus..Allaho uma amin.____Wa \'alaikum selaam wa rahmatullahi wa berakaatuh.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am curious, if a woman is going to fall will you stretch out your had to save her? EDITOR: Answer - Good question. It is mandatory to catch a woman who is falling, because that is emergency and not out of passion or lust. Islam teaches us about "dururah" or "necessity" and this is like eating pork when there is no other food to eat, or even leaving the salat when a child or someone is going to fall into a well or run in front of a car. These things are all emergency and Muslims are taught early in life to know what "dururah" is and what "ruqsa" (concession) from Allah. This was a great question and gives us a chance to explain a very important part of Islam. Thanks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Assalam Alikum, If anything that will send me to Hell, it will be shaking women's hand. I live in the USA, no matter how much I tried to avoid shaking a woman's hand some female always starches her hand to handshake my hand whether it be business meeting or being introduced; I usually handshake their hands because I don't want to create an awkward moment for them. I need help please how to avoid future handshake. Please pray for me...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While I myself hold on to the opinion that non related men & women should not shake hands, I am often questioned by others who point out that there are notable contemporary scholars who say otherwise. This does put me in a difficult position, since I'm not qualified to overrule the modern scholars' opinion. EDITOR: The rule does NOT come from 'modern scholars'. The rule comes from Allah in Quran (Obedience to the messenger is obedience to Allah) and the confirmed (sahih) hadeeth tell us not to shake hands with the members of opposite [censored], unless they are close relatives. - Hope we cleared it up for you...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Salam Nice Article I want to highlight one typo in above mentioned hadeeth. "It is better for you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle than to touch the hand of a woman who is to permissible to you." Check the last link which is saying "who is to permissible to you" but exact wording is "who is not permissible to you.". I hope i pointed out right.]]></description>
