Is it normal it upset me that a Muslim wouldn't shake my hand?

  • I don't think that thing about Shias is true, the only time you need to do ritual purification is if you were unconscious, pooped, farted, ejaculated, fell asleep, had your periods, or are now dead. Same as the jewish cleaning

    taharat is the Arabic term similar to the jewish taharah

    I also second what dappled says

    touching you will not make him impure unless you were in contact with something impure, like an impure animal or substance, say you touched a pig or a dog and touched him or if you spilt alcohol on him, then he'd have to do "wazu" before prayer again. you need to do wazu before prayer regardless.

    the reason he didn't touch you is either company policy, or that he didn't touch you out of respect, you can't touch unrelated women under fear of disrespecting them, being lecherous.

    there are 2 types of purification.
    wazu is the one that you do if you fall asleep, go to the bathroom, touch something impure and before prayer.

    taharat is when you fall unconscious, had intercourse have died and some other stuff.

    It's pretty much the same stuff
