Question

I am a doctor working in a government hospital. Most of the time, beggars sit at the gate of the hospital. As they pass in front of them, they greet the pedestrians one by one. I want to know, is it obligatory for the beggars to answer this salutation? 1133329555

It is not obligatory to respond to a salutation to attract the attention of a pedestrian for the purpose of begging. But if he gives the salutation for the purpose of performing Sunnah without asking for it, then it is obligatory to answer his salutation as well. So if you see someone's condition and think you are actually saluting, you have to answer. And since no one's heart condition is known, it is better to respond to everyone's greetings. 9245368615
