  1. How does Mona reply to her friend's saying goodbye?
    Feedback ImageAllaah yisallimak الله يسلّمَك
    Feedback ImageAllaah yisallimik الله يسلّمِك
  2. Why does she reply in this manner?
    Feedback ImageBecause Mona is a male.
    Feedback ImageBecause Mona is a female.
    Feedback ImageBecause Mona's friend (Samir) is male.
    Feedback ImageBecause Mona's friend (Samira) is female.

Explanation

  1. Mona is speaking to another female. Allaah yisallimik الله يسلّمِك is the female form of the response.
  2. Mona's gender is irrelevant. In the case of Allaah yisallimik الله يسلّمِك, the greeting matches the gender of the person who is intended to receive it, and not the person who gives it.
