Responding to the host's greeting on the radio
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: If the radio host greets the listeners, do we respond to his greeting?
Answer:
He does not see you, nor does he intend you specifically. This is a greeting; pay attention to the words. It does not mean that it is directed at you. It appears to me that one does not respond to it, yes, because he is not intending a specific person. Perhaps no one is listening to him, and he does not know that, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
