If a man greets his brother, asks about his condition, and speaks to him, is that prescribed?

The questioner : This man entered and greeted, saying, "Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings," but regarding the handshake, I tell him, "How are you? Good?"

The Shaykh : There is no obstacle. There is no obstacle to any conversation after the greeting.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : And you as well.

The questioner : Did you meet [someone] when we left the mosque? "Peace be upon you" and... or if anyone sees him and wants to say "Peace be upon you," should he or not?

The Shaykh : When you leave the mosque?

The questioner : ... or in the mosque ... everyone who comes to greet me, do I have to say "Peace be upon you" in the mosque itself while we are still...?

The Shaykh : What is the situation he is describing...?

The questioner : ... what happens in mosques currently.

The Shaykh : No harm.

The questioner : And you are coming out of the mosque and a man meets you, "Peace be upon you."

The Shaykh : Okay.

The questioner : Do you respond? You meet a man and you are going out on the road, "Peace be upon you"?

The Shaykh : I mean, look... what is your father asking?

The questioner : He is asking what we are not saying...?

The Shaykh : What...

The questioner : I mean, what is his obligation? That he should say to him: "Peace be upon you."

The Shaykh : What, I mean, do you do, walk with him.

The questioner : ... everyone has his own seat for himself
