sunnah greetings fatwa-explanation islamqa

                          It happens that I am told not to greet disbelievers with Salaam , or peace.

However in the Quran Surah Maryam , Ibrahim clearly said peace to his father who at the time was a disbeliever, a polytheist.

I wonder why is this?

I'd appreciate references to Quran and Sunnah.
