Is it permissible to shake hands with the people of innovation during prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it permissible to shake hands with the people of innovation during prayer, such as the Rafidah and the like?

Answer:
It is permissible to shake hands with a Muslim who has not exited Islam. The one with whom it is not permissible to shake hands is the disbeliever. If the bid'ah (religious innovation) entails disbelief, then it is not permissible to shake hands with him, because his prayer is not valid. However, if the bid'ah is a sin that does not reach the level of disbelief, then his prayer is valid and it is permissible to shake hands with him. Yes.
