Question:
Salih 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Salih. And although we are going to proceed, if Allah wills, with the questions of Mahmoud Sayyid Abu Zayd, here is a question that is similar to the brother's question. Salih 'Abd al-'Aziz al-Salih asks: What is the ruling on greeting the worshippers who are praying the obligatory prayer?
Answer:
Like the voluntary prayer. If he enters and the people are in prayer, he says: "Peace be upon you," and those around him who hear his voice respond to him with a gesture, even if it is during the obligatory prayer. Yes.
The presenter: What if all the people are in the obligatory prayer?
The Shaykh: Even if it is during the obligatory prayer, he greets those around him at the end of the row where he has arrived. Yes.
