The Error of the Saying, "One Who Is With His Family Does Not Greet People"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. He says: When a man is walking with his wife, whether on a path or in a street, he does not say the salam to people, because some people say that this is not permissible. Is this correct?
Answer:
A mumble. Initiating the salam is recommended, whether his wife is with him or not. If he passes by any of the Muslims, he gives them the salam, initiating them with the salam. Returning the salam is obligatory, by the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:86] [An-Nisa 4:86] Initiating the salam is a sunnah (recommended practice), and returning the salam is obligatory, whether his wife is with him or not. This statement mentioned by the questioner is from the talk of the common people, which has no basis. Yes.

And when you are greeted with a greeting
وَإِذَا حُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍgreet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return it [in a like manner]
فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا
