Peace upon the Reciter of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some of them are kind to him, but he rejects that, saying: As long as he reads the Qur'an, leave him alone, meaning do not greet him with the salam.
The Shaykh:
It is forbidden.
The questioner:
There is nothing wrong with it.
The Shaykh:
A partner does not imitate him in any of his secrets, nor does he stand in the row with him in prayer, nor does he shake his hand.
Another questioner:
Once, in a joke, someone said: No, do not greet him with the salam.
The Shaykh:
This is ignorance.
