How to Interact with a Muslim Woman

Muslim women are just like everybody, but set boundaries between themselves and the opposite sex. The boundaries are not between her and her husband or men which she can never marry.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• An open mind.

1. Meeting a Muslim woman. Do not offer to shake her hand, kiss her or hug her, if you are a man.
   
   1. In general, Muslim women do not shake hands with men, other than mahraams. A mahraam is a man she can never marry or her husband (example: brothers, paternal uncles, grandfather, father, brothers, step-brothers, child not reaching puberty).
   
   2. She does not shake hands, kiss or hug men because it is unnecessary contact between men and women.
2. A Muslim woman can talk with anyone, but it should not be for entertainment. There should be a purpose behind the conversation. She is free to attend University or work.(Examples: Talking about Islam, business, medical care, education).
3. All of the rules are a protection for her. Everyone is part of a family, Muslim and Nonmuslim. Just imagine how many illicit relationships begin from a simple handshake and unnecessary talk.
4. Likewise, the rules also apply to Muslim men. These rules apply to all men and women and are truly a great protection to every family. Any broken home due to illicit relationships can appreciate such rules.
5. Please forgive me if I have made any mistakes in this article and advise me of any corrections.
