The preferred course when a man enters a group of people gathered together: should he offer the greeting or not?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah forgive you. The preferred course in this situation, if a person, for example, enters, is he to offer the greeting or not?
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with offering the greeting if a person enters a group of people gathered in the remembrance of Allah. There is nothing wrong with offering the greeting, for the Companions would come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was sitting with his Companions and they would offer him the greeting. Yes, if he fears that he will cause disturbance by raising his voice, then he should not raise his voice here, in order to avert this harm. Yes.
