Greeting those in the mosque who are reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people hold that one who enters the mosque should not greet those already in the mosque because they are occupied with reciting the Noble Qur'an and with the greeting of the mosque. Is it better to offer the greeting inside the mosque or not?
Answer:
If they are, as mentioned, reciting the Qur'an, do not interrupt their recitation. Do not interrupt their recitation. One does not greet the one who is reciting, nor the one who is speaking and occupied with conversation. One does not greet him because he is occupied. Yes. As for the one who is praying, one greets him, and the one who is praying responds with a gesture. This is what the Sunnah has come with. And if he comes to perform the greeting of the mosque, he may greet the one next to him and shake hands with him on his right and on his left.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
