Replying to a non-Muslim by saying good morning

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Many a time we bump into non-Muslims, either at work, conferences, etc. and they tend to greet with good morning. Is one sinful if he replies to such a greeting by saying good morning back.

Bismillaah

A: It is not haraam, but it is not appropriate.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
