The ruling on saying "Peace be upon you" in the singular
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does one start with the singular, "Peace be upon you"?
Answer:
Both are permissible: "Peace be upon you" and "Peace be upon you all." If it is one person, it is "Peace be upon you." However, the predominant practice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was to say "Peace be upon you all"; therefore, the plural is better.
