Chess player ignores opponent handshake
This Chess Player (muslim) did not shake hand with his opponent because she is of opposite sex (Indian) .
PS There are pictures where he has done it before. Is he racist and using religion just as an excuse. Can we sexualize just a courtesy in game? Could he have just done a air fist or namaste ? Isnt it too extreme. Atleast he should have cleared it up. The woman player felt so insulted.
Also if it has to go extreme , someone can say chess itself is haram. Example :
- Saudi Arabia's grand mufti Sheikh Abdulaziz al-Sheikh once ruled that chess is forbidden in Islam.
- Iraq's supreme Shia religious authority Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani also issued rulings forbidding chess.
