Question

Is it permissible to convey salaam to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) from a non-mahram?

Example: my wife's sister tells her to tell me to convey her salaam and my wife is not coming for umrah with me? If someone does this, should we convey the salaam?

Answer

Rather make a general statement that you are conveying the salaam of all those who asked you to convey salaam. This will allow you to prevent any type of sensual feelings.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
