@TLK

I am just assuming that we are talking about same sex here cause iotherwise it does not matter if the party is muslim or non.

In worldly matters, its perfectly all right to deal with and have friendship with non-Muslims. One thing that can make it even better is to have the intentions of shoing a non Muslim, what a good Muslim should look like. One you meet someone with such intention, you are meeting that person with the intention of Tableegh and then its not only OK, its sawaab.

ok tlk bhai maybe i misunderstood here but i thought you were talking about the topic of a hug, b/c in terms of friendship, i already have muslim friends/acquintances in the nonvirtual world. i was only inquiring about whether it would be offensive when i had hugged a male muslim acquintance/friend. but i got confused when you said the bold part. i think that’s why i assumed what i assumed. so hugging a nonmuslim of the opposite sex is not something that a muslim is averse to?

anyways, my whole intention was to understand so i don’t unintentionally offend anybody but i think psyah bhai explained it pretty well. i got my answer. thanks
