Way of doing musafa & hugging ?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
What is the proper way of doing musafa. Is their any bases for people hugging three times and putting their right hands on their chest. Can I wear Pants and Shirts for School and Work?
The Islamic way of shaking hands is that a person should do it with both hands. The right hand should meet with right hand and the left hands of both of the parties should be on the right hands of each of them.
There is nothing to validate embracing three times; only once is the right way, similarly, no evidence of putting ones hands over one’s chest is not reported. But if you were not allowed to do without it then it would be permissible. With regards to paints and shirts, the paints should be above one’s ankles. If there is no excuse then one should stay away from such regalia because it’s not of the righteous people.
