Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who greets with the phrase “Peace be upon those who follow the right path”?

Answer:
This is for the disbeliever. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he wrote to the kings inviting them to Islam, would say
Peace be upon whoever follows the guidanceالسلام على من اتبع الهدى
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2717Sahih (Darussalam)
, just as Moses and Aaron (peace be upon them) said to Pharaoh
And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَىٰ
[Taha 20:47]
. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
