Greeting a kaafir

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Is it permissible to shake hands with a kaafir ?:

Ash- Shaykh Saleh Al Fawzan (Hafidhahu Allah) was asked regarding the ruling on shaking the hand of a kaafir.
Answer- If they give you salaams and put their hand out to you then shake their hands, there is nothing wrong with that. As for you starting them by giving them salaams and by shaking their hands first then this is not permissible.
