What is the ruling on returning the greeting by saying: "Welcome and welcome"?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If someone says: When he is greeted, he says: "Welcome and welcome"?
No, that contradicts the Sunnah. He must say what is between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah." If he adds after this: "Welcome and welcome," like what the Prophet did with Umm Hani; that is fine.
