Of course they can, A Muslims has 6 rights upon another Muslim and one of them is to greet another. You can initiate the greeting or reply with equal or better greeting. Of course they can! Although Islam encourages men to greet ladies before they greet them. The answer you would get would depend on whether you are asking someone who only follows the Quran, someone who follows some hadiths, someone who follows all of the hadiths, and I think the hadiths also differ depending on whether someone is Sunni or Shiite. I know that at least some orthodox Sunnis who follow the hadiths (sayings) of the Prophet Muhammad believe that a woman's voice should not be heard by men that are outside of her family. But besides that, Muslims are encouraged to greet each other.
The same way you greet any Muslim.
The best greeting is:
No hugs or kisses are allowed upon greeting between a Muslim girl and a man who is not from her close relatives (those who are not entitled to marry her as father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, ... etc.)
Only if married or related and can not marry within Islam
as to other men, by saying assalamu aleikom wa rahmatoh Allah wa barakatoh. That means peace be upon you and God mercy and blessings.
No. They should avoid it.
Salamu Alaykim (سلام عليکم)
In Islam, physical contact between unrelated men and women is generally discouraged. Hugging can be seen as inappropriate between unrelated individuals of the opposite sex, regardless of whether kissing is involved. It is best to maintain boundaries and observe modesty in interactions with the opposite sex.
Muslim men are not allowed to hug or kiss a girl who is not their legal partner or relative; be it in America or elsewhere.
You just hug the backpack with her
yes
NOPE
It just depends on the type of girl she is
she probably just wants to get to know you better
Hugception well it really just means that she feels better when you hug her because she is to scared to
Ask him, because not every Muslim takes the rules strictly
you be brave and hug her!
Just ask her.That is what TONS of people do at my school.They just go up to them and say, "Can I have a hug?" and they get one. :)
Yes and no. There is a way to hug people that doesn't mean anything sexual. Students initiate a hug at times and I just pat them on the shoulder. It is not rejecting them, but it also is not real contact.
