The best part of the site? Al-Sistani's "Cat Blogging".

Oh boy. I clicked on the FAQ section, to see how Sistani feels about such pressing topics as "hand shaking with girls" and "women being allowed to see men in their bathing suits."
Turns out, he's for neither. From the site.
---------------
Question:Are shaking of hands with girls allowed?
Answer:It is not permissible.
-------------
Question:Which part of strange man’s body is it allowed for a woman to look at? Is it allowed to look at his breast? On the tv in the western countries its very oft, that the men show their bodies till the belly ?
Answer:Looking of a woman at a stranger’s (ajnabi) body is forbidden, if it is with lust and fear of falling in sin. It is not even permissible to look without that (lust and fear) also as a measure of obligatory precaution except for the parts of body which normally a man does not cover i.e. head, hand and ankles which a woman can look at if it is without lust and without fear of falling in sin.
