CLAP FOR HER is obviously correct. Since clap isn't an action that can be carried out on a human being, the preposition 'for' directs the action 'clap' to the object 'her'. |

You can clap someone/ something (like giving a pat)or you can clap for someone like hitting the hands together. |

A simple dictionary check would solve the whole problem. Why is it easy for the op to create a thread and get opinions from foreign speakers of English than consult a dictionary?

Clap for her is more appropriate...although clap her. May not be totally wrong,in the scenario u explained,I doubt its grammatical fertility |

Clap Her is the right thing in that context, even the dictionary state so. |
