THIS IS A QUESTION TO THE MUSLIMS
Have you ever had awkward moments where you've refused to shake hands with the opposite gender? How did you tell them that you cannot shake hands with them?
For me, I just say "sorry but I cannot shake your hands because of religious reasons".
In the past I had many moments where I've refused to shake men's hands so I'm not shy to tell them that I cannot shake their hands. Many are fine with it. My most awkward moment was when I was in my graduation ceremony, and I was about to collect my degree certificate the University chancellor was handing out the certificate and my name was shouted out and it was my turn to go up to the stage I went to the stage and I had to quickly tell the University chancellor why I cannot shake his hands it was a bit nerve-racking because there were lots of people in the graduation hall.
What about you?
