I am working in MNC software company. Over here all employees, mostly non-Muslims, wish each other with *"Good morning"* and *"Good night"*. And during special festival with *"Happy Holi"*, *"Happy Diwali"* etc.
So, is this allowed in Islam? Can we wish them during ordinary days and during festivals?
Are there any alternatives to wishing them with *"Good morning"* and *"Good night"*?
**EDIT**
Thanks Everyone, i got answer for secular greetings (good morning), that we can wish them,
But can we wish religious greetings (happy diwali , happy holi,...) ?
----------
**Final EDIT**
Thanks everyone..
I Got answers of my questions.
Yes, We can greet non-muslims with Good Morning or Good Night.
But, **We can not wish non-muslims to on their Religious Festival.**
