Is it permissible to greet the one who is reciting the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Now, the one who is reciting the Qur'an or reviewing a book, do you greet him?

Answer : But if he is one who holds something against you in his heart if you do not greet him, then greet him. And if he does not care about it, do not greet him, because you will disturb him. The same applies to the one who is occupied with the dhikr of the prayer. You know that a man greeted him recently, and he is now remembering Allah in his prayer with the dhikr of the prayers. Do not greet him, because you will disturb him, unless he is one who holds something against you in his heart if you do not greet him; in that case, there is no harm in greeting him, as it removes the harm. There is much discussion on this point or in this area.
