Question:
If a disbeliever shakes my hand, should I extend my hand and greet him, according to the stronger position?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Do not initiate the greeting with them, and if they greet you, say, ‘And upon you.’” This is what is reported in the speech. As for shaking hands, I do not know the answer to it: is it permissible or not?
