If someone asks you ‘How are you?’ is it fine to answer by saying ‘I’m not doing well, alhamdulillah’ or ‘Are you fine?’ answer by saing ‘No, alhamdulillah.‘ Is it fine to answer negatively with alhamdulillah?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

Just say alhamdulilah may Allah reward you and be optimistic.
