not included in the fundamentals of the religion (Zarūriyāt-e-Dīn) then he/she will not become an unbeliever (Kāfir).
Question: What about saying, ‘There’s no veil between you and your spiritual guide’ or saying to non-Maḥram relatives, neighbours or regular visiting family friends, ‘You are like a family member, we don’t need to observe veil with you’?
Answer: This is also complete absurdity and stupidity. Anyone who says such things must repent. It is necessary to observe veil with non-Maḥram spiritual guide and every other non-Maḥram relative, friend or neighbour.
Question: Can a woman let a bangle-seller hold her hand and make her wear bangles around her wrist?
Answer: Any woman who does this is a sinner and worthy of Hell. If her husband or Maḥram male relatives do not despise and prevent this as much as they can, then they are Dayyūš and worthy of Hell too. If a husband sees a man holding his wife’s hand he would probably pounce on him and want to beat him up, but unfortunately, when the same wife lets a man touch her hand to make her wear bangles around her wrists, her husband’s blood does not boil.
When my master A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was asked about women letting shop-keepers make them wear bangles around their wrists, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه answered: Ḥarām, Ḥarām, Ḥarām, showing her wrist to a non-Maḥram man is Ḥarām, letting him hold her hand is Ḥarām, any man that allows his wife to do this is Dayyūš.
