Continuation of how the one praying returns the greeting.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Greeting the one who is praying is not disliked, due to the approval of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of it, unless he fears?
If he fears what?
The questioner : Disturbance.
The Shaykh : Disturbance, or the invalidation of the prayer of the one being greeted, in which case he should not greet. As for how he returns the greeting, he does not return it with words, meaning he does not say, "And upon you be peace." Rather, he returns it with a gesture, raising his hand so that the one who greeted knows that he has returned it. Then, if the one being greeted remains until the one praying finishes his prayer, he returns it with words. If he leaves, it is not obligatory for the one praying to do more than the gesture I mentioned. The apparent meaning of the texts is that returning the greeting is obligatory, but it is impossible by speech because it invalidates the prayer.
The questioner : Your Eminence, the Shaykh... inquiring, knowing that it is of two types. The first type: that the participant is in interest-based companies...?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is correct.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, this answer is correct. I think the signature was not written on it?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Okay, let's correct this.
Yes, from the right.
