Question:
Peace be upon you, Shaykh. A gathering where there is talk about worldly matters, Shaykh, must it begin with praise of Allah or something like that, so that it does not become a regret for him, Shaykh?
Answer:
It is all good. One should begin with praise of Allah or remembrance of Allah, or when standing up, or during the sitting, saying Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah. That is, they should not be occupied away from the remembrance of Allah at the beginning, in the middle of their talk, or at the end. They should mix some remembrance of Allah into their talk.
