Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Peace be upon you. And by Allah. Shaykh, is the command in Abu Sa'id's hadith for obligation or for recommendation?
Answer:
The command is for obligation. It is obligatory for non-Muslims to do one thing: to share food with one another and to exchange greetings with one another. This is the principle, not a sermon.
