Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible to shake hands with a Christian disbeliever if he is sitting with a group of Muslims, and I have shaken hands with them when I entered their place, or should I limit the handshake to Muslims only?
Answer:
If he extends his hand to you, shake it. That is what appears to me. If he extends his hand to you, shake it, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1602Sahih (Darussalam) Yes.
