If the salam is said to someone who is reciting the Qur'an, does he return the salam?

Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: If a person is reciting the Qur'an and someone says the salam to him, does he stop the recitation and return the salam, or does he continue his recitation?

Answer:
It is better that if you see a person reciting, you do not say the salam to him. But if you do say it, the reciter may stop the recitation and return the salam, or he may continue reciting; he has the choice. Yes.
