Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Oh Shaykh
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
And is this from the Sunnah?
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes. You said, “Peace be upon you,” and you were sitting in the gathering; you did not come out or go in. So is this from the Sunnah?
The questioner : But peace is one of the names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
The Shaykh : You have not answered me.
The questioner : I do not know, by Allah.
The Shaykh : This is the answer. May Allah bless you. Good.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And peace be upon you.
And is this from the Sunnah?
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes. You said, “Peace be upon you,” and you were sitting in the gathering; you did not come out or go in. So is this from the Sunnah?
The questioner : But peace is one of the names of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He.
