Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My people are from the Ismaili Batiniyyah, and I want to attend their gatherings in order to call them to tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Is it permissible for me to greet them with the salam? Because the call to Islam does not take place except through that?

The Shaykh:
It says
And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَىٰ
[Taha 20:47]
