Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man asked: O Messenger of Allah! When a person meets his friend, should he bow to him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. He then asked: Should he embrace him and kiss him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No. He said: Then should he shake hands with him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, if he wishes.
