Answer
If the person has a morsel in his mouth, then it is Makruh to make salam to him as he is unable to answer. If someone makes salam to you in that condition, then it will not be necessary to respond.(Raddul Muhtaar Vol.1 Pg.617-H.M.Saeed)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
