Etiquette regarding salutation

When a Muslim meets another Muslim, he should greet him. One who is walking should salute the one who is sitting.

One who is riding (a horse) should salute the one who is sitting.

A small group should salute the large one.

The younger one should salute the elder one.

One should salute by the sign of hand if the other person is at a distance.

One should greet loudly enough to enable the other person to hear it. [Al-Adab-ul-Mufrid]

Hadrat Abdullah bin ‘Umar (Radi Allahu Ta’ala’anhu) narrated that ALLAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “Among the signs before the day of judgement are the following:

Mutual greetings will be confined to certain circles.

Trading will be so popular that a wife would be assisting her husband.

Both capable and incapable will take to writing (books).

Man will become bold in giving false evidence and true evidence will be concealed. [Al-Adab-ul-Mufrid]
