Some Muslim fundamentalists are rebuking Nigeria’s President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on social media, for "Un-Islamic handshakes” to women.
Those arguing against who also double as the President-elects supporters say Buhari, a Muslim from Northern Nigeria should not shake the hands of women.
The last public handshake took place on Friday during the wedding of Adams Oshiomhole, the governor of Edo State. Buhari was photographed shaking the hand of Lara Forte, Oshiomhole’s new wife and ex-beauty queen.
According to some of the conservatives,Islam prohibits a man shaking the hands of any female that is not his wife.
