What’s better? AssalamualiKUM or AssalamulikA (KI} 
Question: Some people say greeting with Assalamualikum is better than greeting with assalamualiki (for a woman) or assalamualika (for a man)? and also people say that if someone greets with assalamualikum, then the angels also reply to the person’s salam (greeting)?  
Answer: Shaykhah answered by saying: Yes, it is better to greet by saying assalamualikum because this is what came in the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, as for assalamualiki or assalamualika, then it is more specific, (brief). As for the second question: Yes, the angels do reply to the greeting of the person who greets by saying Assalamualikum. Shaykhah mentioned, the hadith on this is found in Adab al-Mufrad of Imam Bukhari. 
Question was asked today by me to shaykhah Umm salamah, Shaykh Muqbil’s wife…
