Prince Haakon: 3 Muslim Women Refused Handshake, Norwegian Mosque Apologizes by pressmanng: 8:50pm On Aug 28, 2019
Norwegian prince, Prince Haakon visited Al-noor Islamic Center in the contry to show support for the 10 August Shooting Attack. During his visit he tried to shake hand with 3 muslim women but they didn't accept tge handshake.

RoyalCentral Reports about the incident.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Haakon visited the Al-Noor Islamic Centre last week to show support after the 10 August shooting attack on the mosque. Many people noticed that three women did not accept the Crown Prince’s outstretched hand as he attempted to greet them.

The Bærum mosque shooting, or the Al-Noor Islamic Centre shooting, was an attack that occurred on 10 August 2019 at the Al-Noor Islamic Centre mosque in Bærum, Norway, about 20 km west of the capital city of Oslo.

One person was injured, and the gunman’s stepsister was later found dead in their family home. The shooter was taken into police custody after being subdued by mosque-goers. The shooting has been described as one attack in a recent “resurgence of white supremacy”.

Waheed Ahmed, information officer at the Al-Noor mosque, told NRK that they were unaware that the women did not want to shake the hand of the Crown Prince. He has now issued an official apology to the Norwegian Crown Prince. He wrote to Norwegian state tv NRK: “We did not want the Crown Prince to end up in that situation, but we did not know that the three women would not handshake. We, therefore, apologise to the Crown Prince that this happened.”

Waheed Ahmed, information officer at the Al-Noor mosque, also says that the management of the mosque visit was discussed in a meeting with the staff of the Royal Court the day before the visit, and then, they went through possible scenarios.

Mr Ahmed said: “Hand greetings were not in our minds and therefore did not become a topic that was raised. Had we known in advance that the women would not handshake, we would have informed the Crown Prince about it, but it was completely unknown to us that they would not.”

In Islamic culture, women do not shake the hands of men for religious reasons. Instead, they opt to place their hands over their hearts as a form of greeting.

However, many Norwegians and those in the Muslim community have described the act as disrespectful. The Royal Court commented on the case Monday evening, and they published through NRK the following statement:

“The Crown Prince experienced the visit to the Al-Noor mosque after the terror attack as strong, and that the meeting with all the participants was warm and respectful. Together with the representatives of the Islamic Council of Norway and the Al-Noor mosque, they talked about how we can together build a society where everyone can feel safe and free”.

Hahahahaha... well from their faces it's obvious those women are of Arabic origin. I believe a White Norweigian Muslim may be more liberal.

They did the normal thing.
Whether Norwagean Muslims or Australian Muslim.
Muslim men and women are not allowed religiously to shake the hands of non relatives including cousins of opposite gender.

This is Islām.
if you are so "liberal" and so "tolerant " you should be liberal enough to allow us act the way we feel best.
After all, not shaking hands harms no one.

If shaking of hands can do you hurt, then it's bizarre. Most Muslims are overzealous.

nothing new. persons dat schooled in the north will understand better, some of them dont shakes hands while some do. Maybe this ones did it for the sake of the camera. Besides this is the norm. Take an example of igbo people that dont kill snakes(pythons) in their place. While other people (tribes or religion) see it as stupid and creepy for not killing a snake, they see it as a norm. That dosent mean there arent igbo people that dont kill snakes.

Whats the Quranic injunction that supports this belief?

Look, the reason Khadija and Prophet Muhammad, Sallalahu Alayhi wa Sallam, met, transacted business and became life partners was because Arabian women were not locked up behind doors and denied social freedom.

The Islamic interpretation today is that women must not be allowed in public where men are. Then this issue of handshake is part of the package of that restriction.

How did something acceptable in time of Prophet is now unacceptable in time of his followers?

Cultural and customary beliefes have crept into many of the creeds and upheld as traditions but they are false and pretenses.


Abu Hurairrah, Radiyallahu Annu, used to say he saw Prophet's wife did this...he heard Prophet's wife said that....he observed Prophet's wife went somewhere.... If the Prophet's wife was locked up in purdah as many of you kafirs in North do would Abu have the privilege to record these customs?

I just love the way Yoruba practice Islam. From Northern Nigeria all the way up there to Saudi you all are kafirs.

Practice Islam the way Yorubas do.

I can see the ad hominem in your quote.
When you know you can't counter my point your resort to insult and bring in unrelated issues.

The point here is, hand shake.
Is it permissible for a Muslim to shake hands with the opposite gender?
No.
So what's the fuss all about?
OK I get it.
Tolerance is when I do what you like not what I believe is good for me even when it does not harm you in anyway.
You are a bigger hypocrite to begin with.

Because I don't do what you set as your standard does not mean I am overzealous.
You are the ones who are overzealous.
Why must I conform to your standard when what I do causes no harm.
Stop setting standards for others to follow.
Even your fore fathers were not like this.

Some of you are just too shallow.

It's the topic about purdah or about hand shake ?

If it's about purdah, we will discuss that but it's not.

We are discussing gravitational field you are bringing in viscosity.
How are they related?

Even your premises can be faulted because they lack any substance to begin with.

Hand shakes are not permitted simple as ABC.
Whether it is done by a Yoruba Muslim, Ignore Muslim, ibibio Muslim the rule holds for all of them.

So, stop tribalising Islam for us.

Islam does not know race, culture, or tribe when it comes to following the truth.

Stop beating around the bush. Islam does not permit opposite sex who are not related by blood handshaking one another. Its simple and straightforward

There is no racism or tribalism in Islam. The message is very clear. Stop using Yoruba way of practising Islam to justify what is prohibited in Islam.
