Responding Salām During Prayer
Issue No.1018- A person offering prayer should not greet anyone with Salām, and if another person says Salām to him, it is obligatory to respond him by using the same words without adding anything to it. For example, if someone says Assalamu ‘Alayk, he should say in reply Assalamu ‘Alayk, and if he says Salamun ‘Alaykum, he should also say Salamun ‘Alaykum in reply. Even if he says “Salām”, he should say “Salām” in reply to him.
