I think it's a general thing. Crossing of the arms could come of as a negative body gesture.

maybe i think....lol

I've never heard that crossing your arms is a bad thing, perhaps it's just something cultural?

well, people say that folding your arms like that when talking to someone creates a barrier between you and the other person- like being too defensive or whatever. And everyone says that not just muslims lol

I think it might be something cultural, like dont cross your hand when you are talking to the elders.....or something like that
I dont know, there are many cultures in the world

When I was a kid they used to tell me never to cross my eyes or else the shaytan would "slap me" and they would stay that way forever.

Yeah, needless to say, I never listened.:rollseyes

If ALlah & Rasululah (saw) didn't make it Haram, it's Halal.

simple.

Nowadays lots of people come up wit odd things to say. Just to Haramafy everything.

Wat's next? Don't stand on one leg. lol

^ LOL it could be a culture thing?

like they might think a lack of adhaab to cross your arms coz it might say symbolise something to them, for example sticking your thumbs up for englishman means "WAY TO GO", sticking your thumbs up for bengali's means some sort of insult lol, its true!



but according to islam i dont htink its disliked, infact... i do it almost everytime im standing around doing nothing in a public place :-[

One of those things that were taken far too seriously and ended up being called Haram, I guess. Lack of knowledge, probably.

I think its just one of things that just percieved by many people as not being polite or rather over confidence and pride for eg when we go to an interview thats my opinion on it
