Q: Can we say salaam to a kaafir or can a kaafir say salaam to us?
A: No. Salaam is exclusive for a Muslim.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
عن أنس بن مالك أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إذا سلم عليكم أهل الكتاب فقولوا وعليكم (صحسح مسلم، الرقم: 2163)
ولو سلم يهودي أو نصراني أو مجوسي على مسلم فلا بأس بالرد (و) لكن (لا يزيد على قوله وعليك) كما في الخانية (الدر المختار 6/ 412)
