Responding to the Salam of a Reciter in the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: When reciting the Qur'an in the mosque, there is someone who greets me. Should I respond to his salam, or should I continue the recitation?

Answer:
Continue the recitation, because you are occupied with the recitation. It is not prescribed to greet one who is reciting, nor is it prescribed to greet one who is reciting. If he greets you, respond to him after you have finished the recitation. Yes.
