The ruling on saying "my greetings to you" to someone in the presence of others

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We passed through in yesterday's lesson that it begins with "The greetings are for Allah." He says: So is it permissible for a person to say to another, "My greetings to you" or "The greetings are for you"?

Answer:
This is not the same as the greetings that belong to Allah; this means peace,
give greetings of peace upon each other - a greeting from Allah, blessed and goodفَسَلِّمُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ تَحِيَّةً مِّنْ عِندِ اللَّهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيِّبَةً
[An-Nur 24:61]
. So your saying to a person, "My greetings to you," means "my peace to you"; "my greetings" means "my peace." As for the glorification, that is specific to Allah. The greetings in the sense of glorifications are specific to Allah, Mighty and Majestic. As for the greetings in the sense of peace, these occur between people. Yes. Honorable Shaykh. He mixes up this and that. Yes.
