قَالَ يَحْيَى : سُئِلَ مَالِك هَلْ يُسَلَّمُ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ ؟ فَقَالَ : أَمَّا الْمُتَجَالَّةُ فَلَا أَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ، وَأَمَّا الشَّابَّةُ فَلَا أُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ
Yahya said: Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: Should a man greet a woman with salam? He said: There is nothing wrong with greeting an old woman, but it is not good to greet a young woman.
