The Ruling on Limiting Oneself to Gesturing with the Hand in the Salam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it sufficient to point with the hand when greeting someone who is far away?

Answer:
No, one does not limit it to just pointing. He says the salam, speaks it, and raises his hand, meaning to inform him that he is greeting him. Yes.
