Is it permissible to greet the Arab Christians with the salam to soften their hearts toward Islam?

Question : May Allah reward you. Greeting the Christians with the salam to encourage them in Islam, so that you call them to enter the seller,

Answer : O Shaykh, you know more about the Christians than I do. Do you think now that the Christians, especially the Arab Christians, have a softness that would incline them toward Islam if you greeted them? No, on the contrary. If you greet them, they say, "This one has humiliated us." Perhaps the non-Arabs who do not know [the custom] might be closer to Islam than the Arabs; perhaps they are closer. The point is that we do not greet them with the salam at all. And if we want to call them to Islam, we can say, "Welcome" or "Hello," yes, and that is sufficient to soften their hearts.
