Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, if you enter a gathering, do we begin the handshake from the right or from the eldest in age?
The Shaykh : From the right, because we have a rule regarding starting with the right, and we do not have a rule regarding starting with the eldest.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Regarding the black [garment] that is permitted... or that we carry the black [garment] that is actually permitted, which is the blackness itself in terms of darkness. Peace be upon you, in any case, once to the people of the deceased. As for the handshake, each person, if it is facilitated, without a greeting.
