Traditionally, in Muslim society, women and girls are not permitted to hug or make any physical contact with male strangers, regardless of whether it is a festive occasion or not.
What does Islam say about relationship before marriage? Loving someone is not a sin. But if that love leads to kissing, touching, and other lustful and affectionate acts, then that particular love or relationship will be haram.
Greetings and Gestures
Long handshakes, grasped elbows, and walking hand in hand by two males is common place in the Arab world. Hugging only occurs between close friends. Only use the right hand to eat, touch and present gifts.
Some scholars interpret the hadith to mean that a man cannot touch a woman to whom he is not related in every sense of the word. Others argue that shaking hands is totally fine. There are also those who say it's recommended to refrain from shaking hands, but if you're in a situation where it's called for, go for it.
Greetings and handshakes

Examples of physical intimacy include being inside someone's personal space, holding hands, hugging, kissing, caressing and sexual activity. Physical intimacy can often convey the real meaning or intention of an interaction in a way that accompanying speech cannot do.
"The least flirtatious and romantic touches were the shoulder push, shoulder tap, and handshake. Thus, touching that is gentle and informal, and that occurs face-to-face or involves “hugging” behaviour, appears to convey the most relational intent." Identify their flirting style.
The essence of halal dating is to protect both parties and give you the chance to fall head over heels with your future spouse's purity, personality, and mindset. Scholars suggest meetings should include a chaperone or be set in a public where temptations are minimal.
There is a general consensus among Sunni and Shia fiqh experts that Surah Al-Baqarah 221 and Surat Al‑Mumtahanah 10 ban Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men.

While moderate Muslims generally don't object to music and dancing per se, a large portion of the faithful view sexually suggestive movement, racy lyrics, and unmarried couples dancing together as haram, because they may lead to un-Islamic behavior.
According to the Irish Times, "a majority of Muslims" follow the view taken by modern scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi that music is forbidden "only if it leads the believer into activities that are clearly defined as prohibited, such as drinking alcohol and illicit sex".
Dogs in Islam, as they are in Rabbinic Judaism, are conventionally thought of as ritually impure. This idea taps into a long tradition that considers even the mere sight of a dog during prayer to have the power to nullify a pious Muslim's supplications.
