Response to the Christian's Greeting

Question
Is it permissible to respond to the Christian's greeting? Or to return the greeting to the Christian?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to return the greeting of a Christian, and it is disliked to initiate greeting with him, and God knows best.
