Clapping for men to encourage students

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on men clapping in order to encourage students in the classroom?

Answer:
This clapping is not permissible. Clapping is for women if something happens to you
Let the men glorify Allah and let the women clap.فلتسبح الرجال ولتصفق النساء
So clapping is for women, not for men, except for one who imitates women.
