Shaking Hands with the Unbelievers
|
Question:
May Allaah reward you, if the unbelievers extend their hands to shake hands, should one refuse [to shake hands]?
|
Answer:
If they salaam (greet) you and extend their hands to you, then shake their hands there is no problem with it. As for you [Muslim] iniating the salaam (greeting) and the shaking of the hands then this is not allowed.
