Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first thing: when we enter the gathering, we find that some of the younger people are sitting in the inner part. Do we continue with the salam? We say: I see it is more in line with the Sunnah to start in the middle of the gathering. And when he places water, do we start with it? That is, even if it is in the inner part, is it more in line with the Sunnah to start with it, or with the father?
Answer:
Do not start with the elder; start with the elder, then with the person on the elder’s right. This is the Sunnah: to start with the elder, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) Start with the elder, then pass it around to the right of the elder. Yes.
