The ruling on greeting with salam one whom you do not know to be a Muslim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If I pass by someone and I do not know whether he is a Muslim or a disbeliever, should I greet him with salam?

Answer:
The one in the lands of Muslims, the default is that he is a Muslim, so you greet him with salam. As for if you are in the lands of disbelievers, do not greet with salam one whom you know to be a Muslim. Yes.
