Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. How is a person's salam to himself when he enters his home?
Answer:
The meaning of His saying[An-Nur 24:61] is: greet those who are in the houses, because the Muslims are one body, as the Exalted said: [An-Nisa 4:29] This includes a person killing himself and killing his brother; the Muslims are one body. So the meaning of His saying "greet yourselves" is that you greet those who are in the houses. Yes.
