Question

To make Salam to others is sunnah. If a person does not ever make salam to others, is he a sinner? Can we blame him?

If a group of people come to another group and nobody in the group does Salam, will they be at fault?

Answer

To leave out an emphasized sunnat is wrong. And wrong is sin.

Yes.

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.
