Question:
This questioner says, from outside this country, that in our country some of the Sufis speak about the people of the Sunnah and warn against us. His question is: Is it permissible for us to greet these Sufis?

Answer:
Greeting them for the sake of calling them to the religion? Yes, there is nothing wrong with that. But greeting them as a salutation and to be friendly with them, that is not permissible. Yes.
