The Etiquette of the Salam When Entering a Gathering

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: We ask you, Honorable Shaykh, to clarify the etiquette of the gathering, especially when a man enters it. Where does he begin the salam? From the front of the gathering, or from the right? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
Greet everyone. When he enters, he greets everyone. If he wants to be specific, or to greet with a handshake, he starts with the eldest, the oldest in the gathering in age or knowledge, then the one after him. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
