Continuation: What is the ruling on greeting someone when you do not know whether he is a Muslim or a disbeliever? Since if I leave off greeting him, it may lead to hatred and distance from Islam.

The Shaykh : Because he did not know. Then perhaps his greeting to the non-Muslim will be a cause for what? For his Islam and his turning toward Islam. The bottom line is that if most of the community are Muslims, then what? Then he should greet them. If most of them are not Muslims, he should not greet them. If he is in doubt and hesitates, he should greet them, because the original ruling is that greeting is prescribed. By community, I mean, for example, if they are workers. If most of the workers are Muslims, we greet the workers. If most of them are not Muslims, we do not greet them. But the rest of the community, if they are not of this type, we greet them. Yes.
