Re: Compliments from strangers.
I dont see the problem here. No one actually goes out there and gives someone the RIGHT to compliment them...thats putting a little too much blame on the women, dont you think?
How am I supposed to stop someone from saying something nice to me? How do I know what they're about to say before they open their mouth? Do you have any suggestions as to how Muslim women can take this RIGHT to compliment them back from strangers and give it only to their husbands?
Its not really an issue unless the shop keeper was going out of line and being disrespectful. There are men everywhere and short of staying home all the time, you cant do much to avoid encounters with them.
