Speaking about beginning the question with the greeting of peace.

The Shaykh : As for beginning the question with the greeting of peace while sitting with the one being asked, this is not from the Sunnah. I mean, you find some people now, for example, in the gathering, and then they say: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy," what is the ruling on such and such? This is not from the Sunnah, because those who asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in their place did not greet him; rather, the one who approaches greets, as in the hadith of the one who spoiled his prayer, who came and prayed in a corner of the mosque a prayer in which he did not settle, then he came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who returned the greeting and said: . So, yes, he greets. But if a person is sitting in the circle and then wants to raise a question, he says: "Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy," this is not from the Sunnah. And it is known that we are followers, meaning that we proceed in our worship according to what has been defined for us, neither exceeding nor falling short. But I say: Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
