It is recommended to repeat the greeting of "Salam" to someone you meet multiple times, for instance, if they enter and then immediately leave, or if a tree or similar object came between them. This is supported by the hadith of the one who prayed incorrectly, and the hadith: "If one of you meets his brother, he should greet him with Salam. Then, if a tree, a wall, or a stone comes between them, and he meets him again, he should greet him with Salam."
