    Wa alaykum salam,

    Just tell him in a serious way, also just generally avoid talking to him. It also depends where you live, in places where everyone wears hijab it aint a big deal so the guys wont be put of but like in the uk people would be abit like 'erm she wont be up for anything shes wearing hijab'.

    The path is long but I hope we meet,
    After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.

    A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
    If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    Tell him that you want him to cut it out and act professionally. Do it in a very serious manner, make it totally explicit that he's stepping out of bounds. If he still doesn't get it, he's a moron, or he's just pretending to be a moron. Either way, if he doesn't listen, go to your boss or something, tell him he's making you uncomfortable, and that this behavior needs to stop.

    sis chillax what are you waiting for? you got the whole Muslim nation (well a few) behind you, try and get some brothers together to beat him up, whats wrong with the other colleagues? do they not help you? I am sure you can make a complaint against your colleague. lastly try as hard as you can to ignore him and let him know you are not interested you have better things to do.

    sorry you're going through this.

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    asalam alaikum wr wb,

    Tell him to stop this at once! Say you don't appreciate him overstepping his limits. Don't care if he gets offended and doesn't talk to you after that or whatever. He isn't worth it worrying about.

    wa alaikum asalam wr wb.

    mood hi kharab ho geya!

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    2 words "sexual harassment". here in the u.s. that is a pretty serious charge.
    hijab or no hijab, muslimah or kafir, no woman has to put up with being pawed.
    tell him in no uncertain tone that he needs to keep his hands to himself or you will go to the boss.

    Tell him to stop three times, if he doesn’t I think he should receive a good beating.

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    asalam alaikum wr wb,

    Talk to your colleague first. We should always give a warning first since Allah states in the Quran that believers are helpers of one another. So do try to make him stop what he's is doing. It may be that the brother heeds it and Allah gives him hidayah. If he carries on then by all mean you should report him to the boss.


    wa alaikum asalam wr wb.

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    asalam alaikum wr wb,

    OK, inshaAllah. I hope that'll solve the matter. And may I add a piece of advice here. In the future be very careful about your own behavior with the opposite sex as people can take things the wrong way and assume that you don't mind what they say or do.

    Re: a colleague just touched me

    Always talk to him first in a situation like this - it's very likely he won't understand he's doing anything wrong and that you are genuinly annoyed. Remember he'll come from a culture where men and women can josh around freely.


    Needless to say, don't get him beaten up. Besides being fundamentally wrong, all he'll know that he was beaten up by a couple of muslims for no reason. Hardly going to improve his opinion of muslims, huh?

    Talk to your boss. If you are based in the west your company should have a strict anti-bullying harrassment policy. Use it, he deserves to lose his job.
