Question
is it true that u can not greet a faasiq? almost whole of my kin have no beard, then how am i supposed to initiate conversations with them? b) what is the similar ruling about biddatis c) what is to be done if a ghair-mahram greets u? d) what about very old women
Answer
1. If, by not greeting this person, you will be breaking family ties, then the better thing to do will be to greet this person but if this person knows you are not greeting him because he is doing something wrong, then it is not necessary to greet him.
2. The same ruling will apply to Bidatis.
3. In today's times due to all the Fitnah, it will not be permissible to greet a Ghayr Mahram.
4. It will be permissible to greet an old woman, but if there is a fear of Fitnah then it will not be permissible.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
