Greeting by gesture or car horn without verbalizing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on greeting by gesture, by car horn, or by hand only, without speaking?

Answer:
It is obligatory to speak if the person can hear you; you gesture and speak. The sound of the car is not sufficient, and it is not a greeting; rather, it is a nuisance. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
