Assalamualaikum and good afternoon to all...just wanted to share a beautiful short story..
British men came to Sheikh and asked: Why is not permissible in Islam for women to shake hands...man?
The Sheikh said: Can you shake hands with Queen Elizabeth?
British man said: Of course not, there are only certain people who can shake hands with Queen Elizabeth.
Sheikh replied: our women are queens and queens do not shake hands with stranger men.
