Last night some guy asked what was my religion because he sees my head scarf and I answered Islam, so he starts going on and on, on why so radical change, since I just reverted to Islam (by choice). Then he said that muslims we are so honored dying and killing people for Allah. So I explained to him that, those who do this are not true followers of Islam and they will be condemned. And made him realize he had made a mistake critizising harsh. Anyway I left and today I came back and my desk was decorated with Happy Birthday ribbons (I turned 23 today) my friends did this for me. So I have been sitting here all day long people greeting me, and then he came and said happy birthday and extended his hand to to shake mine. And I totally so forgot in that moment and didn't think about it, that a woman is not to touch a man or viceversa if they are not mahraam. I did it because I was taught to shake people hands as greetings, and this time it went over my head. Is this a bad sin or something?

I did realized after I did it though and I seriously washed my hands, and sanitized it God knows how many times, lol. What should I do muslimen/muslimahs... I mean I won't let him touch me again. But I feel really bad now that I know the path or righteousness. Thank you all for all your inputs.Oh, and I also think that he did it in a way to apologize for what he said last night to me about Islam. I seriously did not see pervertness in him. Sorry for extending so much.

It seems to me that you are troubled by what you accidentally did. My advice is to repent. Here is some evidence according to the Quran.
"And seek forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate."
(Qur’an 73:20)
"And whoever does evil, or wrongs his own soul, but afterwards seeks Allah’s forgiveness, will find Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate."
(Qur’an 4:110)

My dear sister assalamuallaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh .Happy birthday for your 23.I hope you will have a long live,healthy,success,prosperous and happy in this world and will be happy too in the life after death.Amin ya robbal alamin.
According to me you have no sin at all when you shaked hand with your boy friend..It is normal if our friends shake their hands to someone who is in her birthday.We should answer their goodness by receiving their hands too.It is impolite if we reject other's goodness.There is no prohibition in the holy Qur'an whether we should reject non muhrim hands..But if you want to pray you should wash before your hands,your face,your mouth,nose,ears and rub your hair and the last wash your feet.God instructs us to respond the other goodness by the same goodness.You did not doing a mista ke.I agree with you that terrorism is against wth the pure islamic teaching.Islam is a peaceful religion and it spread out without force. Salam and best regards for you

its not aloowed to touch the opposite sex if u are MAHRUM for them...if it is done its HARAM(restricted)...theres no harm explaining about ur religion n y ur not allowed to do things...they will always understand...i studied n a co-ed college n had loads of friends(boy) alhamdullilah i had maintained my self from not shaking hands with them or sitting/ standing close to them....actually those guys really respect me n wen ever i com they give me space n stuff...if one controls themselves for doing wrong ...thy r not required to xpect compliment for others but jus ALLAH....even if another muslim says its not wrong..dont agree with it..cuz this is the way it is n should be followed as it is...
