If two people shake hands, who withdraws his hand first

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If two people shake hands, who withdraws his hand first, Honorable Shaykh? If two people shake hands, who is the one who withdraws his hand first?

Answer : The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he shook hands with someone, did not withdraw his hand from the other person until the one shaking hands withdrew his. However, if a man fears boredom from delaying the handshake, let him withdraw his hand.
