Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'Do not extend the greeting of peace to the Jews, nor to the Christians, nor the Magians, nor the idolaters, nor to those who drink alcohol, nor to chess and dice players, nor to an effeminate person, nor to a poet who slanders chaste women of fornication, and nor to someone performing his prayer - and that is because the person praying cannot return the greeting, for verily the initiation of the greeting on the part of the greeter is voluntary whereas returning the greeting is obligatory. Nor [greet] the usurer, nor someone who is sitting in the lavatory, nor someone taking a bath, and nor an outrightly corrupt person who openly commits immoral acts.
الإمامُ الباقرُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): لا تُسَلِّمُوا على اليَهُودِ ، ولا على النَّصارى ، ولا على المَجُوسِ ، ولا عَبَدَةِ الأوثانِ ، ولا على مَوائدِ شُرّابِ الخَمرِ ، ولا على صاحِبِ الشَّطرَنجِ والنَّردِ ، ولا على المُخَنَّثِ ، ولا على الشاعِرِ الذي يَقذِفُ المُحصَناتِ ، ولا على المُصَلِّي؛ وذلكَ لأنَّ المُصَلِّيَ لايَستَطيعُ أن يَرُدَّ السلامَ ، لأنَّ التَّسليمَ مِنَ المُسَلِّمِ تَطَوُّعٌ والرَّدَّ علَيهِ فَريضَةٌ ، ولا على آكِلِ الرِّبا ، ولا على رَجُلٍ جالِسٍ على غائطٍ، ولا على الّذي في الحَمّامِ ، ولا على الفاسِقِ المُعلِنِ بِفِسقِهِ.
