Question

When several mourners are sitting shiva together, is it permissible to say 'shalom' to them out of respect for the community?

Answer

Even though it is said that a mourner is allowed to inquire about the well-being of the community when they are many out of respect for them, nevertheless, a comforter should not inquire about the well-being of many mourners.
