My concern is, I don’t want anyone to get the wrong impression that I am later returning Salam to a women as a man in the group setting.\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"It is recommended to give salam in a group setting, regardless of whether it consists of men, women, or both. When someone offers salam, it becomes obligatory on at least one person in the group to return it.  \\n\\nIf no one has responded, you may do so to fulfill the obligation. However, if you have a legitimate concern about how it may be perceived, you can return the salam verbally without typing anything in the chat. This way, you uphold the duty without drawing unnecessary attention.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9ff10b76658b4c2329d2","tag":"Relationships: Opposite Gender","count":80}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T18:54:26.847Z"}
