Is it valid to greet with a car horn?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on greeting with a car horn, or with the hand only, without speaking?
Answer:
Speaking is required if you are in a position where they can hear you; you gesture and speak. The sound of the car is not sufficient, nor is it a proper greeting; rather, it is a nuisance.
