Questions on the Rulings of the Salam and Responding to It from Non-Muslims and the One Praying

The questioner:
The author states that the greeting of the young person to the elder did not occur in Sahih Muslim, which makes it difficult to classify the hadith as agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. The greeting of the young person to the elder did not occur in Sahih Muslim, so it is difficult to consider the hadith as agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

The Shaykh:
He is unable to do so; perhaps the Maghribi one, perhaps it is important from the perspective of preserving trust.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you. If it is.

The Shaykh:
He urges himself. He holds back and returns the salam; he holds back from the recitation and returns the salam, then he returns to the recitation.

The questioner:
The first option, and there is a note regarding the salam upon her.

The Shaykh:
He greets him in the same manner as one greets the one praying.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh:
The one praying responds with a gesture, and the one reciting responds with words. If two riders or two pedestrians meet, who initiates the salam (peace be upon him)? The one who is better in terms of the Sunnah initiates it.

The questioner:
If Allah wills.

The Shaykh:
They are the ones who begin with the chain of narration.

The questioner:
It is better for the one who recites the Qur'an to greet them and then leave.

The Shaykh:
He greets him like the one who is praying; he greets him, but the one who is praying responds with a gesture, whereas the one who is not praying responds with words.

The questioner:
Or the workers, meaning the disbelievers, knew the phrase "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh." So, for example, when a person enters the grocery store, they say "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi." And when asked, he says, "For example, I am Filipino. Are you Muslim, or am I Hindu, or Polish?"

The Shaykh:
When they began responding to them, and since it is said, "If you are greeted with a greeting, return it with something better," they returned it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not initiate," he said, "Do not initiate."

The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah bless you, in some evidence it is by justice, and in some by weight.

The Shaykh:
Yes. What is it, naturally, this preference or the combination?

The questioner:
One hundred dirhams and five awar.

The Shaykh:
That is, one hundred, a quarter of one hundred and forty mithqals, the amount of which is fifty-six yaba of Arab silver. Yes.

The questioner:
The standard is by count, not by weight. May Allah reward you. Sometimes it may differ.

The Shaykh:
In the reference, the original and the group.

The questioner:
If a Jew or a disbeliever or a Christian says, "I heard it," and he comes with the salam he knows, "As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi," how does one respond to him, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
"Wa alaykum" only, O Shaykh. This is like what he (peace and blessings be upon him) said, so the hearts are upon you.

The questioner:
May your blessings be upon you.

The Shaykh:
They did not say anything, or rather, they did not respond to them.

The questioner:
Salam upon you, O Shaykh. Ruling: Does he greet? No. And if he greets, does one respond to him?

The Shaykh:
That he should return it to her.

The questioner:
The ruling on returning the salam with a gesture to the one who is praying.

The Shaykh:
Yes, like this.

The questioner:
What is the ruling on returning it, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
Like this; it is obligatory to gesture. The Companions used to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying, and he would return their greetings with a gesture.

The questioner:
Chewing a piece of wood (miswak) during the time of the khutbah (sermon), is it considered idle talk?

The Shaykh:
He does not complain, he does not fidget, not with the miswak or anything else.

The questioner:
If he does that, it is idle talk.

The Shaykh:
He fears for it, he fears for it, it is feared.

The questioner:
He passed by a group of women; is he required to smile?

The Shaykh:
And he returned because he greeted him.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh:
From the added names, such as the Most High, the Knower of the Unseen and the Witnessed, yes.

The questioner:
May Allah forgive you. The commentator says here that it is reported from some of the Shafi'is that it is permissible to initiate the salam with the Christians and the Yemenis.

The Shaykh:
And if they say their words are not connected to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in any way.

The questioner:
What evidence did they rely on, may Allah forgive him?

The Shaykh:
There is no power and no strength except with Allah. O Allah, guide us in those who prostrated

The questioner:
They have evidence by this intellect, or meaning.

The Shaykh:
And the extremists. Yes.

The questioner:
Because it became.

The Shaykh:
Then you reached the sky, and if then you reached ignorance, then you reached tranquility.

The questioner:
This is narrated from Ibn Abbas and others.

The Shaykh:
And if Abu Bakr said, "One of the children of Adam, the Prophet."

The questioner:
May Allah keep you.

The Shaykh:
I seek refuge in Allah.

The questioner:
Visiting Jews and Christians is from the category of da'wah (calling others to Islam).

The Shaykh:
Whenever he visits them and calls them to Allah, he strives for good. For example, some of them respond by saying, "O Ali, for example, does he repeat it? He says: The reason? Peace be upon you." He teaches him, he teaches him the Sunnah.

The questioner:
Some of those who have fallen into shirk (associating partners with Allah) oppose the one who called them to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and then after a period, meaning a year or two.

The Shaykh:
Even if they opposed him, the Messenger opposed by the people of Makkah, and that did not prevent him from calling them. The people of Makkah drove him out and wronged him, but he did not cease calling them. He was patient until he emigrated.

The questioner:
My question, O Shaykh, is it permissible to give gifts to them and be kind to them as described in the verse?

The Shaykh:
The noble one.

The questioner:
They struggled against his harm and his expulsion.

The Shaykh:
From the chapter of "those whose hearts are to be reconciled," if he gives to them for the sake of calling to Allah, they become reconciled.

The questioner:
Even if he tried to expel him from his home before that text, the verse.

The Shaykh:
He gave to him for the sake of the call.

The questioner:
Al-Nawawi says, and it is excluded from the general rule of initiating the salam: one who is eating or drinking or having intercourse, or one who is in the toilet or the bathroom, or one who is sleeping or dozing, or one who is praying or calling to prayer, as long as he is engaged in any of these, facing the direction of.

The Shaykh:
One in the bathroom does not greet him, and everyone who is relieving himself does not greet him.

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. Also, may Allah reward you for your kindness.

The Shaykh:
That he gives permission, he greets and calls to prayer, Glorified is He.

The questioner:
Greet her.

The Shaykh:
Yes, it is prescribed.
