Replying to a non-Muslim by saying good morning
Question
Many a time we bump into non-Muslims, either at work, conferences, etc. and they tend to greet with good morning. Is one sinful if he replies to such a greeting by saying good morning back.
Answer
It is not haraam, but it is not appropriate.
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.
