Stopping the recitation of the Quraan to make salaam and musaafahah
Question
In the masjid where I learn tajweed of Quran, it is a common practice that the one entering the masjid says salaam and does musaafaha with everyone present there, even if the person is busy in recitation of Quran. Should the person reciting the Holy Quran answer to his salam and do musaafaha with him?
Answer
No.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
