What you have done is wrong and a sin and the justification you gave is not legitimate.

You have to have dignity in your religion without violence or rudeness. You can simply apologize that it is against your religion to shake hands with the opposite sex.

It would be a bit embracing and she might get annoyed of this but Allah will be pleased with you and this is all that counts.

What would you do if you were in a country that kiss on the cheek? Would you also feel embarrassed and pressured?

You have to draw the line and show people that you are a practicing Muslim and that there are things you can not do.

And Allah knows best

Today at work a non mahram manager came over to me and offered he hand to shake, I was in such a situation that I shaked the hand. In a non muslim country men and women are treated the same .. but I know you should no shake hands with a person who is not your mahram. All eyes were on me to shake her hand and the I was pressured to shake the hand Usually I dont shake hands with no mahram but in such a pressure situation and such a environment and atmosphere it was hard to resist. Is there any fatwa regarding this situation. i pray to allah and repent for my sins (as stafir allah wa atooba illay)

If a covert muslima s going to inherit her christian parents,can she spend the money or keep it because the family bussiness is from grapes farm and some grapes are use to make wine and some vinegar and some to sell as fruits and other things? and if she cannot inherit them, can she recieve it as a gift from them while they are still alive?

Have an absurd question, which troubles me. Thing is I like long hair a lot!!! In fact I can’t imagine a wife without long, healthy, shiny hair. I don’t know why would any woman want to have their hair short but some actually do. Now since we can’t see her hair, can we ask how long her hair is? Problem is that it just sounds so wrong but I don’t want to take a chance either. Maybe that’s where sisters would come in handy. What if somebody doesn’t have a mother/sister to ‘see’ the girl? I actually find that wrong too. I mean this is not a sale or anything that you need to scrutinize everything. So any solutions???
