Greeting the prince in the assembly and starting with the one on the right
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I enter the assembly of one of the princes or the great, is the Sunnah that I go to greet this prince who is in the middle of the assembly, or is the Sunnah that I start with the one on the right, the one on the right?
The Shaykh:
Do not start with the great one; start with the great one, the one of advanced age or the one of high status and position. This is the proper conduct; you start with him, then move to his right and continue with those present. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable.
The Shaykh:
You start with the end of the row and leave the one who has status and position; this is contrary to proper conduct. Yes.
