I went to one of those Job Agencies yesterday and the interviewer (man) stuck his hand out to shake my hand.

I said "My religion doesn't permit me to shake hands with men" and he said, "That's fine, no problem."

And the role which I was applying for was within a Finance company, so taking what happened before into consideration, he asked me, "Is there anything within your religion that will effect your job, E.g. handling money and stuff?"

I thought that was well kool, Alhamdulillah, I felt bare respected :thumbs_up

Just thought I'd share lol :D
 
glad you had such a positive experience.
but working at a finance company - isn't interest an issue?
 
:salamext:

Yeh, but I'll only be doing the work on the computer, not handling the actual money...

Hadith - Mishkat-ul-Masabih

The following three ahadith have been taken from Mishkat-ul-Masabih under the section of interest and the English translation has been taken from its English version written by Al Hajj Moulana Fazl Karim (218-227 vol.11)

Hazrat Jabir r.a. has reported that the Messenger of Allah cursed the devourer of usury, its payer, its scribe and its two witnesses. He also said that they were equal (in sin).

Hazrat Abu Hurairah r.a. reported that the Prophet said : A time will certainly come over the people when none will remain who will not devour usury. If he does not devour it, its vapour will overtake him. [Ahmed,Abu Dawood,Nisai,Ibn Majah]

Hazrat Abu Hurairah radiyallahu anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah said: I came across some people in the night in which I was taken to the heavens.Their stomachs were like houses wherein there were serpents,which could be seen from the front of the stomachs. I asked :O Gabriel! Who are these people? He replied these are those who devoured usury. [Ahmed,Ibn Majah]

It happened to me a few weeks ago too, at a job interview. The poor guy looked so confused and taken-back lol. Especially since I have already warmly shaken hands with the woman who was there.

Same here sis, when I started work at a company before, (work experience), I shook 2 guys hands coz I thought it would be rude not to, but yesterday at that interview I thought "If I explain to him then he should understand", and he did, Alhamdulillaah :D

Jazaak Allaah Khayr for the duas sis xxx

Good for you.
I sometimes find myself in awkward situation when men (irrespecive of religious background) extend their hand to shake mine, usually during formal meeting in the presence of my other muslim colleagues. If I refuse, the guy may be embarrased. If i shook his hand, thats is commiting sin. Worse when other muslim women are also presence but don't mind doing so. A few times when I wasn't thinking I shook hand with the opposite.. :hiding:
Now I resort to acknowledging the opposite party by nodding my head and smile and somehow that stop them from offering handshake. I should have more courage like you.
