Some people love their hand and place it on their forehead

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some people love their hand and place it on their forehead. Do they love their hand and then put it on their forehead?

The Shaykh:
This is contrary to the prescribed practice of shaking hands. As for placing it on the forehead, this is a sign of prostration. This is not permissible; I seek refuge in Allah. This is a sign of prostration.

The questioner:
It should be declared wrong to him.

The Shaykh:
Teach him that this is not permissible.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, man.

The Shaykh:
As for kissing the hand, leaving it is better.
