The ruling on saying "Good morning" as a greeting
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when they meet in the morning, say: "Good morning?"
Answer:
No, it is better to say "As-salamu alaykum" (Peace be upon you). Then, if he greets him, he says, "May Allah give you a good morning," or "How are you?" He starts with the greeting; this is the Sunnah. The other one says, "Wa alaykum as-salam" (And upon you be peace). Then, if he wishes, he asks him, "How are you? How are your children?" There is no harm in that.
