Respected Mufti Saheb! As Salaam vaalekum I often see that some people use jai bheem or jai maaya instead of as salaam vaalekum or wising to each other by meeting to one another. Is using of Jai bheem/jai maaya instead of as salaam vaalekum in any discussion or wishing to each other is justifiable according to our Islam darm ? I am very much confused on this matter pls do reply and if this is going wrong pls help me to remedy this situation and issue the Fatwa.
