Clarification that the Sunnah when friends meet is handshaking, not kissing.

The Shaykh : Before we get into the topic of the lesson, I would like to ask: has handshaking been abrogated and replaced by head-shaking, or is the ruling still in effect? The first or the second?
The student: The first.

The Shaykh : The first, meaning it has been abrogated?!
The student: No, no, the ruling is still in effect.

The Shaykh : So the second. The Sunnah when meeting is handshaking. But unfortunately, people have now become accustomed to a practice that is not prescribed. When a man meets you, he takes your head and kisses your forehead and leaves. There is no handshaking. Come, shake hands, my brother. Why don't you shake hands? He says, "This is an honor for you." The honor is to kiss my head and leave the handshaking that is reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) Therefore, we remind the brothers that the first thing you do when you meet your brother is to greet him with what? With a handshake. Then, if you see fit to kiss his head or forehead, there is no blame on you. We do not deny kissing the head or the forehead, for example, but we deny leaving the Sunnah and replacing it with what is not a Sunnah. Because kissing the head or forehead of scholars or a father or the like is among the permissible matters. But handshaking is among the things that are what? Recommended at the time of meeting. For this reason, I pointed it out, and every time I want to remind people, but I forget. However, in this gathering, what Allah willed, the hands that hold the head and hurt the person have multiplied. In any case, we thank the brothers who appreciate us, and we ask Allah to reward them for us with good. But the Sunnah is more deserving of being followed: handshaking first, before anything else, with the greeting on the tongue. A handshake with the hand and a greeting on the tongue. And success is from Allah.
