I mean a very platonic sort of “professional-setting” hug with opposite sex?

Say some non-muslim hugs you as you run into them after a long time and before you know it, he/she is already at it. Since neeyat is very important in Islam, would you feel like you’ve sinned?

How do you put a halt to it? So next time you meet them would you abruptly stop them? Wouldn’t that be even more awkward?

Don’t go tauba tauba on me though, try to understand it may not be as easy as some will eventually suggest.

Actually yes i do..i find nothing wrong with that. But of course professional jhappi it is.
