Question
Should a beardless man be greeted with the Masnoon Salaam?
Answer
The faasiq should not be greeted. However at the same time one should not regard oneself as pious and better than the faasiq. Answering this question, Hadhrat Thanvi (Rahmatullah alayh) said:
"A beardless man should not be offered Salaam. However, if one gains the idea of superiority, then to remedy one's pride, the person should be greeted.".
