Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to greet a distant person with a hand gesture while saying the salam?
Answer:
Yes, so that he knows you are greeting him, because he cannot hear your voice. Do not limit yourself to the gesture; rather, say the salam verbally and gesture toward him to let him know that you are greeting him. Yes.
