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: that's how we treat and see our women.
