Question
I heard that if someone makes Salaam from behind, one should not respond. Is this correct?
Answer
Yes, it is correct. Imaam Abu Hanifah (Rahmatullah alayh) said to Imaam Abu Yusuf (Rahmatullah alayh): "If someone calls you from behind, do not answer him. Animals are driven with calls from behind."
