Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it obligatory for one who enters a gathering to greet everyone by raising his voice and sit at the back of the gathering?
Answer:
It is permissible to say "As-salamu alaykum" and sit wherever he wishes in the gathering, but it is better to greet the most senior person in the gathering, whether the most senior in knowledge or in age, starting with him and continuing to the rest from his right, to the right of the senior, until he has greeted everyone present. And if he gives a general greeting and sits, then that is sufficient. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
