The ruling on singling out a shaykh or other person for the greeting alone
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The commentator said: It is disliked to single out one person for the greeting, because it breeds estrangement. Some people single out a student of knowledge or a shaykh for the greeting from among the others present. Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
No, rather, the greeting should be general, encompassing everyone. If one singles out some of them, there is no harm.
