Rights of common Muslims

But keep in mind that if you see infidels, polytheists and apostates, as well as those who gamble and drink alcohol and engage in such sins, you should never greet them. Because to greet someone is to respect him and it is in the hadith that When a Muslim respects a sinner, the Throne trembles with divine wrath.^[1]الکامل فی ضعفاء الرجال،سابق بن عبداللہ الرقی،ج۴،ص۵۴۹
