Question<\/h3>\n

Can we greet non-Muslims with conventional Muslim greetings \u201cassalam-o-alaikum<\/em>\u201d? <\/p>\n

What is the stance of Sharia<\/em> and Had\u012bth<\/em> or Sunnah<\/em> on family planning? <\/div>\n
Can we teach non-Muslim to say “inshaAllah<\/em>“. Because, I have habit of saying this and my non-Muslims friend usually ask me what is this. I want to know should I encourage them to do the same.<\/div>\n

Answer<\/h3>\n

There is nothing wrong in saying assalaam o alaykum<\/em> to the non-Muslims. Some people think that we can wish well for the non-Muslims but that is not true Islamic stance. We need to interact with them and try to do them good. We need to create a da’wah<\/em> relationship with them so that we can easily communicate to them the teachings of our religion. <\/p>\n

For our view on the issue of family planning please refer to: http:\/\/www.monthly-renaissance.com\/issue\/query.aspx?id=341<\/a><\/div>\n

There is nothing wrong with saying inshaAllah<\/em> before the non-Muslim friends and teaching them what it means. <\/p>\n
