“When the People of the Book say salaam to you (greet you by saying al-salaamu alaykum), say ‘Wa ‘alaykum’ (and unto you)
sorry, i still cant.
cuz it shows that if someone says salaam then reply to him/her with the same (as unto you)
ps. can someone else please tell me the what is a juxtaposition in both the arguments. ps2. no, not for the sake of argument.
Sharabi is saying that muslims can only say wa alaykum(and unto you) to non muslims but not the full thing as in wa alaykum Salam(and blessing unto you).
