Is it permissible to greet (to say salam alaykum) and to answer the greeting while adhan is being called?

The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

A person who is calling adhan and reading the Quran is not greeted. Such a person does not have to answer the greeting. However, a person who is listening to adhan can be greeted silently or with a gesture based on the situation; the greeting can be answered. However, if it is not necessary, it is better to wait for adhan to end and greet after that.
