@yanzala

Thanks for the serious and respectful response. And you r right I should have done that, but even American guys in my classes give certain amount if respect to women who wear hijab so I was a bit surprised that a muslim doesn’t think along those lines.

You’re just making a big deal out of nothing here. He shook your hand, as he has probably done with many other people, men and women included. This isn’t about being a Muslim or a non-Muslim. It’s about what that person is like. There are Muslim huggers out there, and then you have those that will not touch another non-mehram’s hands, regardless of her being a hijabi or non hijabi, Muslim or non-Muslim.

Lol I don’t think he was testing me. He is I guess 4 years younger than me maybe this was one if the reason I didn’t refuse shaking hands with him because in past I have refused to few people (mainly Americans, and I refuse very nicely and made sure they aren’t offended) but that desi guy just took me by surprise. Khair I was just trying to get advice on how I can not go through it again and u guys r right there is nothing I can do other than nicely refusing.

On one hand, shaking hands is bugging you a lot, and on the other isn’t. Weeeeeeeird! Like I said earlier, he’s younger than you, so he doesn’t know everything. You could have just said to him, sorry I don’t shake hands, I hope it’s ok. Or better yet, just had smiled and turned away or something.

because in past I have refused to few people (mainly Americans, and I refuse very nicely and made sure they aren’t offended)

Just because he’s brown you’re that offended? and all of a sudden you have no idea how to deal with such a situation again? He is a person after all, explain to him or anyone else for that matter and I’m sure you would not get into this situation ever again

@fat_spartan

You could have just told him you don’t shake hands with men.

This.
