Abi Basir asked the Imam (a.s) about a Muslim shaking hand with Jews or Christians. He said: “It is fine if you shake hands with some cloth in between, but if they touch your hands, wash them.”

وفي رواية أبي بصير عن أحدهما (عليهما السلام) في مصافحة المسلم اليهودي والنصراني، قال

من وراء الثوب، فإن صافحك بيده فاغسل يدك.
