Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: In the hadith regarding the prohibition, as for greeting when one is in places such as the bathroom...
The Shaykh: As for the bathroom, there is a hadith indicating that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked returning a greeting while in a state of ritual impurity. So, I dislike it for a person to greet someone who is defecating, or for him to return the greeting. "As-salam" is a name of Allah, but if he is teaching knowledge... there is no harm in offering the greeting. If he is reciting the Qur'an, there is no harm in offering the greeting...
Eid Abbasi : ... .
The Shaykh: For the sake of the greeting, yes, that is correct.
The questioner: As for a gathering of knowledge, to interrupt it...
The Shaykh: It does not interrupt, and there is no issue.
... and what else?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh: All right.
