Replying to the salaam of a non-Muslim
Question
What to reply do I give if my non-Muslim friend says salaam to me?
Answer
You may say 'alayk' or greet him in a way that is acceptable, like 'how do you do?'
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.
