The Ruling on Shaking Hands with Beggars When Leaving Mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: He says: Many beggars bother us when we leave the mosques. He says: It has become such that if one of them extends his hand to shake mine, I refuse and do not shake his hand. Is there any sin on me for that?

Answer:
If he is shaking your hand for the salam, that is one thing; but if he is shaking your hand for the sake of begging, leave him and stay away from him. Yes.
