He's in one of the US's international security programs, and has been there for several years/administrations. I would consider him an impeccable source.

Maybe they do simply nod or bow instead, I don't know. I did read it somewhere recently, but that source was much less "pure".

It probably is a difference between the sects. After all, some Muslim women simply cover their heads, others wear the veil, still others cover their entire body. I did find this passage which states that an engaged couple should not hold hands.

I will definitely ask my friend further questions, and continue to check the internet for further enlightenment on this.
