question should we say Assalam O Alaikum to non muslim or not Praise be to Allah: There are two different of Opinion amongst the scholars regarding wishing “Salam” I will give you my opinion on the base of Qur’an and hadith. Those scholars Says that we should not says Salam to Non Muslim . why because it mention In the Hadith and its mention in Sahi Muslim Hadith 3574 . which says if any some one say intently “Aasssamaikum” which means(may death be on you) , prophet saystell then back “aikum” which means “ may on you too” But if you read the Qur’an Ch 19 Verse 47 “ Ibrahim (pbuh) said to this father “peace be on you”. His father was Non Muslim and if you read Qur’an Ch 20 Verse 47 “ peace be upon them who follow the guidance” while in the palace of Pharo and all of them were Non Muslim. Allah says in the Qur’an ch 28 Verse 55 “ When you amongst those who speak dirty tell them to you , your deed and to me , my deeds, and tell them Salam (peace). Further its mention in the Qur’an Ch 25 verse 63 “ when arrogant(speaking dirty) approach you tell them peace(Salam)” And Allah says in the Qur’an ch 60 Verse 5 “ verily there is a example for you in the lifeStyle of prophet Ibrahim” what the Ibrahim did ? he say Salam to this father . Why can’t we , Sahaba used to do to jews and Christine if you read the bibleIn the gospel of Luke Ch 24 Verse 38 – 42 “ Juses reply in Hebrew “Sholoomliakum”In Arabic “ Asalamuailakum” (peace be upon you All). Allah says in the Qur’an Ch 4 Verse 86 “When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things.” According to the Scholar if you read Tafseer of Imam a ‘Tauina”(spelling may be wrong) he said : This Qur’anic verse says not only for the Muslim but every Muslim or Non Muslim, every living creature, if some one greet you wish back more at least equal. And I do say Salam to Non Muslim , even I wish and reply and even in my lectures, starting of my lecture . I agree with this scholar and its base on Qur’an and hadith , and even I wish Salam to Non Muslim too. Allah knows the best.
