As salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullahi
This is the last posting reagrding "spreading Salaams", please also
refer to the source: http://www.convertstoislam.org/
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH SALAAM IS DISCOURAGED
There are certain situations under which it is
preferable not to offer salaam. These include; when a person is
relieving himself, when one is having marital relationship, when someone
is sleeping or when in the bathroom.
Offering salaam when someone is reciting the
Qur'an is permissible but discouraged. The same rule applies to someone
who is making du'a (supplication) or one who is praying.
EXCHANGING SALAAM WITH NON-MUSLIMS
The Prophet said:
"Do not greet the Jews and the Christians with
salaam." However, if they salaam first, we may reply by saying "wa
alaykum" (and upon you)." (Bukhari and Muslim)
please aslo note the excrepts of the conclusion in this regard
The Muslims should not use bad language when saluting the Non-Muslims
but should be polite and courteous. The wording of the Salutation for
the Non-Muslim according to the Qur'an and Hadith should be noted. The
ayat in the Qur'an, like all other ayats, is beautiful. The wording is,
"Peace on him who is rightly Guided."
The salutation for the Non-Muslims in the Hadith is that the Muslims
should say, "Wa 'anthom" or "Wa 'alaykum" when greeted by the
Non-Muslims. That is, they should say, "The same to you" or "Upon you"
concerning whatever that Non-Muslims have said.
barak Allah fikum
Wassalaam
