The ruling on shaking hands when entering the gathering daily

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: What is the ruling on shaking hands when entering a gathering on a daily basis?

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with that; shaking hands is not a problem. In fact, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) because it removes grudges and spreads affection among people, so there is nothing wrong with it. All right.

The questioner:
The issue is that some scholars say it is recommended when people meet, but not when entering the gathering or coming in on a daily basis; they hold that this is not part of the Sunnah. The Companions did not do it every time they entered upon one another. And he says: It has not been established for us. No, I am. All right.
