The situations in which the salam is prohibited

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Also, you mentioned your fear of Allah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) [is] from the needs of the question. What are the situations in which the salam is prohibited?

The Shaykh:
The situations in which the salam is prohibited are, for example, when a person enters and the imam is delivering the Friday sermon. If he greets, he does not return the greeting, and if he greets, the salam is not returned to him. He is also [in that state].
For example, if people are occupied with a lesson from the lessons of knowledge, a person does not greet when he comes; he sits down and does not greet, because if he greets, he distracts them and disrupts them. Likewise, the one who is reciting the Qur'an: if a person is reciting the Qur'an, you do not greet him, because if you greet him, you disrupt his recitation, especially if he is reciting from memory; you disrupt him. They even said that if people are conversing among themselves, two people conversing among themselves, you do not greet them, because if you greet them, you disrupt them. And among the situations is relieving oneself, as you have learned in this lesson. The state of a person: if he is defecating, it is not permissible to greet him, and so on.
