The Salam to the One Who Openly Commits Sin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to greet with the salam one who openly commits sin, such as a smoker, one who shaves his beard, or one who lets his garment hang below the ankles?

Answer:
You greet him with the salam while advising him, because he is a Muslim, not a disbeliever. He is a Muslim, so you greet him, but with advice. Yes.
