Shaking hands with a worshipper during the Friday sermon

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, Honorable Shaykh, some of the worshippers on Friday extend their hand to shake mine while the imam is delivering the sermon. Should I return the greeting?

Answer:
No, no, this is a movement and it is not permissible. But when the sermon ends, you return the greeting and explain to him that this is not permissible: movement during the sermon and speaking during the sermon. Yes.
