The ruling on a woman returning the salam to a man on the road

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is it permissible for a committed woman to return the salam to a man who greeted her while he was on the road?

Answer:
Yes. Returning the salam is obligatory. If he has no ulterior motive or flirtatious intent, it is permissible; but if he has a bad motive, it is not permissible. Yes.
