What must we say whilst greeting through a non-Muslim with: As salaamu 'alaykum?
praise be to Allaah.
It isn't always permissible – first of all – to initiate the greeting of salaam to a non-Muslim. The Prophet (peace and advantages of Allaah be upon him) stated: “Do not provoke the greeting of salaam to a Jew or a Christian…” (Narrated by means of Muslim, 2167).
If considered one of them says “As-Saam ‘alaykum” – which means, may dying be upon you – or it is not clean whether or not they've said “salaam”, then we need to reply by way of saying “Wa ‘alaykum” (and upon you).
It changed into stated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) stated: “when the Jews greet you, they say ‘Al-saam ‘alaykum (may additionally loss of life be upon you),’ so respond with the aid of announcing ‘‘alayk (Hadees sahih-Al-Bukhaari, Muslim, 2461).
If a non-Muslim greets us with the perfect shar’i greeting (i.e., says ‘Al-salaamu ‘alaykum’ sincerely), the scholars differed as to whether or not we ought to go back the greeting. most people of scholars stated that we do should return the greeting, and this is the proper view.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may additionally Allaah have mercy on him) said: they differed as to whether it is obligatory to return the greeting. the general public stated that it's far compulsory and this is the best view. a collection of students said that it isn't obligatory to go back their greeting just as it isn't always obligatory to go back the greeting of folks that comply with bid’ah. however an appropriate view is the primary one. The distinction is that we are commanded to forsake the fans of bid’ah via way of rebuke and to warn others about them, which isn't always the case with the Ahl al-Dhimmah (Jews and Christians).
(Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/425, 426)
The Muslim who is returning the greeting must reply inside the way prescribed by sharee’ah, giving a similar or better greeting, because of the general which means of the Aayah (interpretation of the that means):
“whilst you are greeted with a greeting, greet in return with what is higher than it, or (as a minimum) go back it equally.” [al-Nisa’ 4:86]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may additionally Allaah have mercy on him) said: if the person is sure that the Dhimmi (Jew or Christian) is surely pronouncing ‘al-salaamu ‘alaykum’ to him, and he has no doubts about that, have to he say ‘wa ‘alayka al-salaam’ or shorten it to ‘wa ‘alayk’? what is indicated with the aid of the proof and ideas of sharee’ah is that he need to say ‘wa ‘alayka al-salaam’, due to the fact that is more simply, and Allaah commands us to be just and to deal with others well… this does not contradict any of the ahaadeeth on this topic in any respect, due to the fact the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) commanded us to shorten the greeting to ‘wa ‘alayk’ because of the motive noted above, which is they intentionally used to say ‘al-saam ‘alaykum’instead of ‘al-salaam ‘alaykum’, as indicated inside the hadeeth narrated by means of ‘Aa’ishah (may also Allaah be pleased together with her). He stated, “Do you no longer see that I say ‘wa ‘alaykum’ whilst they say ‘al-saam ‘alaykum’?” when he state, “The human persons of the book salaam you with salaam, say, ‘Wa ‘alaykum.’”
Allaah says (interpretation of the which means):
“… and while they arrive to you, they greet you with a greeting wherewith Allaah greets you no longer, and say within themselves, ‘Why could Allâh punish us not for what we say?’…” [al-Mujaadilah 58:8]
If this cause isn't always there, and the Jew or Christian says, ‘Salaam ‘alaykum wa rahmat-Allaah,’ then it is most effective honest to reply in type.
(Ahkaam Ahl al-Dhimmah, 1/425, 426)
The hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah was narrated with the aid of al-Bukhaari (5901) and Muslim (2165)
