Istifta 15381 — Disbelievers - Kafir

What is the ruling on saying Salam Alaykum to the disbelievers?
Answer
There is no harm in initiating the salutation, albeit Makrooh (undesirable act) except out of necessity, under whose remit comes Urf. Responding to their Salam should be by uttering [the word] Alayk (with you).
