Giving precedence to the eldest when entering the assembly

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first thing we say is that when we enter the assembly, we forget that some of the younger people are sitting in the club. Do we delay the greeting? He says: Who is the eldest in the middle of the assembly? And when it comes to… does it indicate the Prophet, even if it is in the club, who is the eldest or the father?

Answer:
No, one does not start with the eldest; one starts with the eldest, then the one on his right. I act on the right of the eldest. This is the Sunnah (recommended practice): to start with the eldest, based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Eldest, eldest,كبر كبر،
Start with the eldest, then proceed to the right of the eldest. Yes.
