What is the ruling if a relative asks you not to greet him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a relative who asked me not to greet him. What is the ruling?

Answer:
Greet him, even if he asked you not to. Asking not to be greeted is a sin, and greeting is obedience. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator, so greet him.
