ANSWER:

The consensus among scholars is that it is permissible to mention Allah’s names while in the state of minor and major impurity.

This means that the prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam simply didn’t want to mention Allah’s name except while in the state of purity. 

Is it true that Prophet Muhammad PBUH didn’t used to answer salam if he was not in the state of wudu? And if it is true, then is it makruh or haram to answer salam when we are not in the state of wudu?
