Please comment on a Maulana who, when one gives one’s hand to make Musaafahah and Salaam, he sticks out his elbow to greet as the president had shown

Answer

The so-called clown ‘maulana’ is a jaahil human devil. His act is kufr since he has accorded preference to a silly act of the kuffaar in negation of the Masnoon Musaafahah practice. This fellow should renew his Imaan and Nikah as well. It is not permissible to offer one’s hand to such a follower of Iblees. Besides the act being a clown’s antic, it is kufr for it displaces the Masnoon manner Allah Ta’ala has commanded via Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). To crown the shaitaaniyat, this silly method is acquired from atheists whom this miserable jaahil and others of his ilk are giving preference over Allah’s command.
