The ruling on saying: Peace be upon you, without using the definite article in the word Peace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
We have spoken about the greeting of peace, and there are some phrases taken from the greeting. Instead of saying "As-salamu alaykum" (Peace be upon you), one omits the article and the lam,He says: saying "Salamun alaykum" (Peace be upon you),Or the response can also be: "Salamun wa rahmatullah" (Peace and the mercy of Allah),without saying: and "Wa alaykum as-salam" (And upon you be peace)?
There is no harm if he says: "Salamun alaykum" is used with the indefinite article, so there is no harm in it, but the definite form is better: "As-salamu alaykum." Likewise, "Salamun wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh" (Peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings). As for "Wa alaykum as-salam," there is no harm in it. It is permissible to omit the predicate and it is permissible to omit the subject,Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: so "Salam" omits what? It omits the predicate,Meaning: saying "Alaykum salam" (Upon you be peace).
