Islam is a religion of mercy, affection and brotherhood; its commands and prohibitions aim at the good of society, urging respect for others, meeting them cheerfully and greeting them. Handshaking is one of the human customs in harmony with the teachings of Islam.
This book brings together four treatises on handshaking by four hadith scholars: al-Hafiz Diya' al-Din al-Maqdisi, Ibn Naja the preacher, Ibrahim al-Amidi, and al-Hafiz Muhammad ibn Ali al-Mahmudi al-Sabuni.
