Muslim Women Cannot Shake Hands With Men
I cannot shake your hand, sir. I'm a Muslim and you're a man.
A Muslim woman police officer has sparked a new debate by refusing to shake hands with Britain's most senior police chief for religious reasons.

Then she is in the wrong profession. Supposed she is in a situation where she has to arrest or with strain a man - what will she do? Now, I do not know if this is mostly based on tradition or Islamic Doctrine, but I do not see how shaking a man's hand can cause any temptation (if that is the reason for the restriction).

| The spokeswoman added that the officer has completed all basic training, including the safety course 'which requires recruits to come into physical contact with each other regardless of gender'. Asked about the officer's ability to make an arrest, she said: "There is a standard between personal and professional life. A passing-out parade is a personal event. You are not fulfilling a professional duty there." |
Apparently, it's okay for her to "contact" with men in the line of duty. I don't see how the graduation ceremony is not considered a duty, though.

| "It was only granted by members of training staff out of a desire to minimise any disruption to other people's enjoyment and to ensure the smooth running of what is one of the most important events in an officer's career,' she said. |
How is that not part of her duty?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I dont see how shaking a superiors hand is necessary or can be equated to contact with the opposite gender in other activities in the "line of duty". She clearly says she is prepared to come into contact with men during the course of her professional duties ie arresting, restraining offenders etc etc. However I dont see how the refusal to shake the hand of Ian Blair in a graduation ceremony is a non-fulfillment of professional duty.
Islam regulates contact between man and woman, confining it to marital relationships, blood relationships and other necessary (including professional) contact e.g. Doctor/ Nurse-Patient. The reasons for this rule is obvious.
