The Ruling on Greeting Non-Muslim Workers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener Abu Muhammad says: Is there a sin on me if I joke with non-Muslim workers by greeting them, such as saying "Good morning," which is equivalent to the salam among Muslims?
The Shaykh:
The salam, merely the salam upon meeting, and in this case there is no harm, yes.
The questioner:
Even if it is in their language.
The Shaykh:
In the Arabic language, he greets them in Arabic, or in their language if they do not know Arabic well and do not understand it, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
