Greeting the disbelievers when calling them to Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes, some of the happiness is that the Book and the religion are from the breaking of the fast which they know to be sufficient for them to greet them, and it is not possible to greet for the sake of Allah, or some of them do not know about them.

Answer:
The call to Islam is not by greeting them, which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. The Messenger used to call the disbelievers to Islam and write to them, but what did he say? He said
Peace be upon whoever follows the guidanceالسلام على من اتبع الهدى
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2717Sahih (Darussalam)
, and he did not say "peace be upon them." So do not greet them. Even if he wants to call them, he calls them without the greeting. Yes.
