Question

It is customary in our organization to call someone on his behalf and tell him to go and greet me. By saying this, he understands that he left when he was being called. He used to call someone in general, but he went and said that he had greeted Amu. My question is, is such use of Salam permissible or not? In this case, is it necessary to respond to the salutation? I will benefit if you let me know. 9794985225

Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

Although it is permissible to call someone like 'someone greeted you', it is not correct. Because ‘salam’ is a special term in the Shariah. It should be refrained from being used anywhere other than the area prescribed by the Shari'ah. Therefore, in the case in question, it is advisable to use another word instead of using the word salam to call someone. And in this case, since there is no purpose to greet or send, it will not be necessary to respond. 9569228591
