Giving precedence to the elder when exiting the door
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
From him. Regarding exiting the door at times.
The Shaykh:
If they are of equal status.
The questioner:
It is said to the resident or the one who is stationary.
The Shaykh:
Yes, he becomes in front, meaning he is given precedence, he goes ahead, and the others walk behind him, such as a parent, a scholar, or an elder. It is befitting that he be the one in front, and those below him in status be behind him, as a sign of respect for him when exiting the door, or in other situations, or while walking, or in the assembly. Is he given precedence?
The questioner:
One result.
The Shaykh:
So if they are of the same status, they exit in whatever manner they wish. And if some of them yield to others, Allah, he exits first. That is good.
