Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah Amma ba'd The Issue of Giving the Salaam Upon entering Lecture Question: If a person comes to a lecture late, what is more preferred: that he gives the greetings (salaam) upon entering the gathering, or is it better that he sits without greeting? Answer by Shaikh Muhammad ibn Saleh al-'Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah): | quote: |
It is preferred that he does not give the greeting if this will cause an interruption in the lesson or cause a disturbance. But if it will not cause any interruption or disturbance, then giving the greeting is legislated upon every person who approaches a gathering, and due to this, it is preferred to give the greeting. If a person does give the greeting, then it is sufficient that only one person from those who are already in the gathering respond. |

Subhanak Allaahuma wa bihamdika ash-hadu anlaa illaaha illa anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk If I said anything correct, then it is from Allaah (subhanahu wa taa'ala), and if I erred, then that is from me and shaytan.
