Ruling on returning the greeting during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If someone greets me while I am praying, should I say to him after the prayer: "And upon you be peace"?
Answer:
He has gone... and does not hear your words?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: No, you indicate to him while you are in prayer.
And if you return the greeting after the prayer, as came from Ibn Mas'ud that he greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when he greeted him, he returned the greeting to him.
And if the greeting is returned by gesture, that is sufficient.
