The answer

Shaking hands during the sermon is not considered a distraction that diminishes its reward, because it is like a gesture by which it is permissible to return a greeting, and it does not result in disturbance or preoccupation from the sermon. One should advise those who initiate greetings during the sermon after the prayer.
