Home » Making Musaafaha (Shaking Hands) With Only One Hand
May one shake only with one hand when greeting?
The Sunnah and correct method of making Musaafaha is with both hands. One should avoid using only one hand in these times as this has become the practice of the Kuffaar and some deviant sects.
