2697. Asmā' bint Yazīd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed through the Masjid one day, and a group of women were sitting, so he motioned his hand with the Salām – 'Abdul-Ḥamīd (one of the narrators) gestured with his hand. (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eīsā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan. Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal said: "There is nothing wrong with the narration of 'Abdul-Ḥamīd bin Bahrām from Shahr bin Hawshab." Muḥammad [bin Ismā'īl] said: "Shahr is Hasan in Hadīth." And he strengthened his case, he said: "Only Ibn 'Awn criticized him. Then he reported from Hilāl bin Abī Zainab from Shahr bin Ḥashab."
Abū Dāwūd [Al-Maṣāḥifī Al-Balkhī] narrated to us (he said): "An-Nadr bin Shumail narrated to us that Ibn 'Awn said: 'They stabbed Sharh.'" Abū Dāwūd said: "An-Nadr said: 'They stabbed him – meaning they reviled him.'" And they only reviled him because he worked for the Sulṭān.

Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ gestured along with the words of Salām. It is proven through various Aḥādīth that if there is no danger of Fitnah (temptation, ill-doubt, slander etc.), then a man may say Salām to a woman, or to say Salām to a group of women, or a woman saying Salām to a group of men, provided there is no danger of Fitnah and a risk of being accused.
