The ruling on what is said before the question, such as greetings and supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh! We said: Greeting before asking is not from the practice of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them).
So should we say such a supplication before the question,As if he says: "May Allah reward you," and the like?
Yes, indeed! As for the greeting, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) in itself; you greet the one you meet, so it is a recommended practice in itself. As for supplicating for the one being asked, it falls under the category of reciprocation; because the one who answers you has actually done you a favor, even if he has also done a favor to himself, it is a form of reciprocation given in advance as cash,If you say: "May Allah reward you," so there is nothing wrong with this.
