The ruling on returning a non-Islamic greeting such as "hello" and "welcome"

The questioner : That. And it means.

The Shaykh : For the married.

The questioner : Meaning,

The Shaykh : I mean, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says "hala."

The questioner : Yes, I mean, once, we are listening.

The Shaykh : No, he is supposed to say "As-salamu alaykum."

The questioner : I mean, he did not return it to him.

The Shaykh : No, we do not return it to him because this is a greeting, and Allah the Exalted said: "When you are greeted with a greeting, greet with one better than it, or return it." No, this and others, but we advise him and say, "Greet first," and this means, but this is the Sunnah. Now, you greeted, you did what you see is the Sunnah, which is the greeting, but the greeting of Islam is better than this. And we teach people. Is it not now widespread among people, neither when meeting nor when returning the salam? When he meets, he says "Welcome so-and-so," and when you greet him, he says "Welcome, hala." Well, instead of this, say "As-salamu alaykum" and then say "Welcome," just as the messengers (peace and blessings be upon them) did. When the Messenger was greeting them on the night of the Ascension, they would return the salam and say, "Welcome to the righteous Prophet, and to the righteous brother." And Ibrahim said, "Welcome to the righteous son," and Adam.
And according to the apparent meaning of the noble verse, it is obligatory to return it, it is obligatory to return it, but one should advise and teach, because the problem now is that when it became widespread among people, people no longer distinguish between it and "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah." In fact, they may consider this better in their opinion. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us, the students of knowledge, that if someone says "Hello and welcome," we repeat. Some people, if you greet them on the phone, for example, with "As-salamu alaykum," they say "Hello and welcome, As-salamu alaykum, Hello and welcome, As-salamu alaykum," and then they hang up the phone, not knowing what is intended by this. But we teach them. If we fear this, he says, "My brother, say 'As-salamu alaykum,' this is his return." Yes, and some people now, when they pick up the phone, say "Hello," and this "Hello," I don't know who knows the English language and what it means? No, no, it is not from it.

The questioner : What does it mean? I mean, he eats.

The Shaykh : "Hello" means "O so-and-so"?

The questioner : I mean, it is a short call. They call this a customary call, a customary call, meaning "I hear you" or "I am speaking to you."

The Shaykh : Does it mean "yes"?

The questioner : Is there a problem with our borders? Is there something strange with this?

The Shaykh : He says, "Who is speaking?" I swear to Allah, I don't know, I don't know the English language, but I am not imagining it.

The questioner : The Shaykh mentioned its translations. Where is it? Is it the same beginning of the speech, meaning it is not?

The Shaykh : But it is a key word.

The questioner : No, no.
