Should I give salams as a non-muslin? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Apparently it's not allowed for muslims to give me salam but nothing saying I can't initiate it.

Given this, do people expect me to initiate a salam? Or do I just say hi and go about my day.

Context: muslim friends at school

I have Persian friends, most of whom are not religious. I greet them in Farsi pretty regularly.

    There's no pressure on you to initiate a Salam. You can do it if wished, No problem if you don't do it. It's really your choice, do as you want.

    It is allowed for Muslims to give salam to anybody. Who told you they can't?

    It's in the hadith

    ‘Do not greet the Jews and the Christian’s before they greet you, and when you meet any of them on the road force him to go to the narrowest part of it’ [Sahih Muslim 2167a -Book 39, Hadith 16]
