Muslim friend wants a massage.

Any sugestions.

Just give him/her some numbers to local places that does massage?

martinedwards

is there restrictions on massage in Islam?

if it's for medical/relaxation I can't see a problem

if it's a "massage" of a more intimate nature then obviously that would be a problem to most faith groups!

Don't know him that long just a few days, thought it was a strange question, he's from Saudi so maybe it's more of a custom?

Asked if it was medical, he said no, for relaxation.

Don't want to send him to a happy ending one :rolleyes: any recommendations for the city center.

I don't know about Dublin but around here there are no "happy ending" places.
He probably just need a male doing the massage as (strict) Muslim men cannot be touched by women outside their family.

I have a few muslims friends from Asian and Arab countries. Not sure if you are a man or a woman.

If you are a man and it's a guy, in countries like Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan or Saudi men are a lot more affectionate towards each other and will hold hands in public, hug and offer massages so maybe its a culture clash.

Explain the culture differences

If it's a woman and she wants a massage and you are a man, she may be coming onto you lol never heard any of my muslim female friends ask a guy for a massage.

If you are both girls, muslim girls from above countries with close friends can be quite affectionate too.

Guess could just be a cultural difference that you have to work around.
