Re: Interview .......
^Exactly - a handshake should not be considered "sexual" - that one is "feeling" up the other... how disgusting - the thought itself makes me puke!
In the professional world - there are other things to worry about - than a handshake...
but I'm still waiting for original poster to explain why it's such a biggie for her :(
Re: Interview .......
Ishi simply when he extends his hand for a handshake, say sorry it's against my religion to shake hands with men. As far as getting a job, remember it's Allah wo provides sustanence. So keep your Eman strong. Believe in Allah. Dont do anything against Shariah. InshaAllah you will not only succeed in this world but also hereafter.
Remeber pleasing Allah is more important than pleasing people. The heart of that person who is going to interview you is also in Allah's control. You never know, staying firm on your belief might even impress that person.

Re: Interview .......
I blame all the E numbers they put in food these days Samb lol.
Mamaof3 - Lol @ over zealous practitioners. They're usually the worst when it comes to eyeing up the girls that wear such outfits!!
Please don’t do that - don’t spread false notions about Islam… nowhere in the Quran is it prohibited to shake hands. Also, there are ample fatwas on the subject so you can do your own research -
e.g. Muslim Woman Shaking Hands With Males - IslamonLine.net - Ask The Scholar
That being said, you can always voice your personal preference not to shake hands, but please spare Islam from your rationale. We already have enough false extremist notions to contend with already..
Re: Interview .......
^True I agree.
Also, we cannot go for EACH and EVERY little thing to Quran as a reference/guide. In that case the Quran would be the size of this planet.
Just use common sense.

btw, so, you don't feel comfortable shaking a man's hand... but you don't have any problems "falling in love" with a 23-year old guy in Pakistan over MSN... okie dokie... well, you didn't shake hands with him at least... so I guess I see your point
[/QUOTE]
Haha, so true. Hypocrite people.....it's okay to flirt or fall in love with a person online but shaking hands with someone is a "sin"? WOW ! Just WOW !.
Which kind of Islam Version is this? Is this a new & latest version that I am not aware of? Hmmmm, probably.
Re: Interview .......
Handshake is not forbidden in Islam, getting involved in sexual activities is. As someone said above, handshake is not considered as "sexual", well, atleast i don't think so. It all comes down to your intentions. Many Muslims, however, have left no stone unturned to destroy the image of Islam.
There is more to Islam than just handshake. I don't even know what the fuss is about.
When you live in western countries, you obviously get an idea of what kind of enivronment you expect to live in. If you care so much about minor things i.e. handshaking, then why the hell do you bother to live in such countries? I mean, why not move to an Islamic Country where you are more likely to practice Islam and defend your views? You should respect the laws & cultures of the country you choose to live in. Simple. But some people simply won't get the basic common sense in their head, despite being "moderate & educated".
Re: Interview .......
For fuk's sake! shaking hands is not such a huge religious issue. If you are a hijabi or wear a burqa or something, well yeah you most probably wouldn't be expected to shake hands. Otherwise, its a polite business gesture, I am sure it wont get you expelled from islam.
As a side note, your concern is rather funny after having read about your little affair earlier.
And McT1Twhatever, I would love to see how far you have implemented islam in your own life. Its nice seeing jumpy mullas shooting fatwas left right and center.
unfortunately not all that common afterall NJMasti - pity!
hey this went over my head :( u making fun of me? pityful me? :(
Re: Interview …

no NJMasti, it was just a general comment on the confused state of affairs. If anything, yours are the views I’m aligned with here.
jezz... its just the hand.. shake it.
Re: Interview .......
what is the harm in shaking hand ? Today you are so worried just for an interview in university tommorow you will have interviews for job then how will you manage ? you just cannot keep on refusing for shaking hands.
Let’s get it done on this. Our Prophet (Sallalaho Alahey Wasulum) is without a doubt a role model for every Muslim. When Prophet (Sallalaho Alahey Wasulum) took Bait from Sahaba (Radi Allah Anhum) it was hand in hand, but when Prophet (Sallalaho Alahey Wasulum) took Bait from Sahabiya (females), He (Sallalaho Alahey Wasulum) NEVER held their hand. So if it wasn’t a sin, Prophet (Sallalaho Alahey Wasulum) would have held their hand.
^True I agree.
Also, we cannot go for EACH and EVERY little thing to Quran as a reference/guide. In that case the Quran would be the size of this planet.

Infact we can find the answer to every and anything in the Quraan. It’s our lack of knowledge and understanding of the Quraan that we can’t find these answers. Quraan is the “Speech of Allah” not an ordinary person. Everything that we need to know to live our lives according to Islam is present in the Quraan. We just need to take time to read, learn, and understand them.

did you even bother to see the site I posted ?!
Re: Interview .......
LC, I did read it and **this **is the Islam that attracts me. It is sensible, it is accepting of others and of other practices and cultural niceties. Entirely and absolutely different from the "Islam" preached by those who think that a customary handshake is forbidden or will turn a female into a 'ho.
Sorry sara - BELOW - :halo:
sometimes I talk too much non sense :halo:
