Question

What should the response be when a person messages with the greeting "Salaams" instead of the full AssalamuAlaikum?

Answer

You do not have to answer this.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Ask Mufti Online

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.
