The Ruling on Handshaking After Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people shake hands with the person to their right and left when they finish the prayer, and some say: It is forbidden. This matter is widespread among Muslims, and they say: Is there anything wrong with it?
Answer:
If Muslims meet in the row, and some of them greet each other, or they greet each other after the voluntary prayer and shake hands, then all of this is prescribed; based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):.
As for if one of them had already greeted the other before entering the prayer, there is no need to repeat that after the prayer. And success is from Allah.

When two Muslims meet and shake hands, their sins fall off them just as leaves fall from a tree.
إذا التقى المسلمان فتصافحا تحاتت خطاياهما عنهما كما يتحات عن الشجرة ورقهاAs for if one of them had already greeted the other before entering the prayer, there is no need to repeat that after the prayer. And success is from Allah.
