The Etiquette of Salam: When Not to Greet Someone

Hadith of the Day is a daily feature highlighting timeless sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the Ahlul-Bayt (pbut), offering insights into faith, ethics, and spirituality for contemporary life.

Hawzah News Agency- Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari, from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Khattab, via his chain of transmission, tracing it back to Imam Sadiq (pbuh) that he said:

ثَلَاثَهٌ لَا یُسَلَّمُونَ الْمَاشِی مَعَ جَنَازَهٍ وَ الْمَاشِی إِلَی الْجُمُعَهِ وَ فِی بَیْتِ الْحَمَّامِ.

There are three who should not be greeted: one who is walking with a funeral procession, one who is walking to the Friday prayer, and someone inside a bathhouse.

Al-Khisal,Book 3,Hadith 31
