With peace.

The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Does the one entering upon the congregation while they are praying offer them the salam?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the one entering upon the one praying may offer him the salam, and the one praying may respond with a gesture, just as they used to offer the salam to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying, and he would respond to them with a gesture. Yes.
