Is shaking hands sufficient when saying the salam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is shaking hands sufficient when saying the salam?

Answer:
The salam, the verbal salam, is obligatory. Shaking hands is an added good; it is an added good. The salam is obligatory. If it is accompanied by a handshake, that is an added good and better. If there is no handshake, the salam is sufficient. Yes.
