Is it permissible to salute? Is it like bowing?

Question

Is it permissible to salute? Is it like bowing?

Answer

Saluting is a kuffaar style of respect. It is haraam to emulate the styles of the kuffaar. Greeting with their styles is not permissible. While saluting is not the equivalent of bowing, it is nevertheless not permissible.
