Making salaam to non-mahrams
Question
I know that interacting with a non-mahram without any reason is not allowed. But I want to ask that when I was a child I used to make salaam to my neighbouring aunties, but now I'm 18 and I feel hesitant doing so. What should I do? Guide me.
Answer
If they are not your mahrams then don't greet them.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
