Worried I may have upset a Muslim colleague unintentionally
Salam, I’m feeling quite uneasy about a situation earlier today. I’m not religious myself, but I have many Muslim coworkers. Today, I had some leftover pizza with sausage that I was taking home. While waiting in line, I was holding the pizza box, and as I was managing my things, I absentmindedly asked a Muslim colleague I’m friendly with to hold the box for a moment. Later, he asked what was on the pizza, and I mentioned the sausage. He didn’t say much but looked at his hand that had held the box. I know Muslims don’t eat pork, but I read online that even touching it might be an issue, which I hadn’t realized. Now I’m stressed that I might have disrespected him by asking him to hold the box. I really hope he doesn’t think I meant any harm, astaghfirullah. He didn’t complain, but should I apologize when I see him tomorrow? I truly didn’t intend any offense and just wasn’t thinking in the moment. Any advice would be appreciated, jazakallahu khayran.
