Question:
He says: If I enter a gathering and there are elders in it, O Shaykh, which one do I start with? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
You start with the one nearest to you when you first enter. Or, if there is an elder in the gathering, whether in age or in knowledge, you start with the one of greater virtue. Then you proceed to his right until you have completed that side, then you return to his left and complete the rest. Yes.
