The ruling on greeting a woman

If a man initiates the greeting to a woman, does she respond to him or not?
Answer: Yes, she responds to him, and likewise, if she initiates it, he responds to her. The hadiths are general, and the noble verse is general: [Al-Nisa: 86]. So if she says, "Peace be upon you," he says, "And upon you peace." And if he says, "Peace be upon you, O women..." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he passed by women, would greet them. So when he greets the women, they respond by saying, "And upon you peace," or they add, "And the mercy of Allah." However, if he says, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," they are obligated to say, "And upon you peace and the mercy of Allah," just as he said, because Allah said: So returning it is obligatory, and adding to it is recommended. If he says, "Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah," it is obligatory for the Muslim to say, "And upon you peace and the mercy of Allah." If he completes it with "and His blessings," it becomes better, increasing the good for him. Yes.
