If someone greets us while we are reciting the Qur'an, do we interrupt the recitation and return the greeting?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. If someone returns our greeting while we are reciting the Qur'an, do we interrupt the recitation and return the greeting, or how do we handle it?

Answer:
It is not obligatory to interrupt the recitation in this case. It is not prescribed to greet the one who is reciting the Qur'an until he has finished his recitation. Yes.
