British Man and the Sheikh
A British man came to Sheikh
and asked: Why is it not
permissible in Islam for
women to shake hands with a
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 strange
men.

Then the British man asked
the Sheikh: Why do your girls
cover up their body and hair?
The Sheikh smiled and got
two sweets, he opened the
first one and kept the other
one closed. He threw them
both on the dusty floor and
asked the British: If I asked
you to take one of the sweets
which one will you choose?
The British replied: The
covered one.
The Sheikh said: thats how
we treat and see our women.
