Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: Some people say "good morning" instead of "May Allah bless your morning with good." Is there any religious objection to that?

Answer:
It is an abbreviation, but if
you are greeted with a greeting, greet [in return] with one better than it or [at least] return itحُيِّيتُم بِتَحِيَّةٍ فَحَيُّوا بِأَحْسَنَ مِنْهَا أَوْ رُدُّوهَا
[An-Nisa 4:86]
, one should return it with something similar or better; that is what is prescribed.
