A question regarding the greeting? The innovation of greeting every individual in the gathering and repeating the phrase

This innovation is, on one hand, related to what some people mistakenly assume is prescribed. It concerns the greeting (salam) that we were commanded to spread and disseminate among people, as in his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): And in another hadith, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: .
This dissemination is, without a doubt, more than merely offering the greeting, because offering the greeting is when you meet your brother for the first time; then you must greet him, and it is obligatory, it is necessary. As for disseminating the greeting, it is more than that. For example, if Abu Ahmad enters from that room into this room, he says: "Peace be upon you." Likewise, if he exits from here to that room from which he came to us, he also says: "Peace be upon you." Even if he does not say it, it should be so, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So this is part of disseminating the greeting upon entering and exiting; whenever he enters and exits, "Peace be upon you," "Peace be upon you."
Also included in this is what is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in words, and what is established from the Companions in practice. Following his command (peace and blessings be upon him), when they were traveling or in a group on a road, and a tree or a stone came between them, and then they met, some of them would say to others: "Peace be upon you." They were walking separately, but a rock or a tree or something similar separated them, so they would soon meet behind it, and some of them would hasten to greet the others. All of this falls under the category of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .
Do you see if there is any dissemination of the greeting? And here, as they say, is the crux of the matter. One of us today enters the gathering and offers the greeting, and this is obligatory, because it is the right of a Muslim over a Muslim: . But if there are, for example, five people in the gathering, or ten people, or more or fewer, the custom now is that the one entering greets every individual among the seated. We mean by the greeting the Shari'ah greeting, not the Jordanian greeting. Because the Jordanian greeting, as I learned here, they mean by the greeting the handshake. So I was often asked, and I was previously unaware, when someone asks me: "I meet an old woman on the road, is it permissible for me to greet her?" I would say to him: "It is permissible." And then he means what? The handshake. Therefore, I say my intention is the Shari'ah greeting, "Peace be upon you."
So, does this person, when he enters, greet every individual among the seated with "Peace be upon you," "Peace be upon you," "Peace be upon you"? Remember this hadith from me; it has a weak chain. It is not permissible for us to narrate it and attribute it to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but its meaning is beautiful. That is because it is established from some of the Companions, and it is likely Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: So the handshake is part of the completion of the greeting. But it is not part of the completion of the greeting and the Shari'ah greeting that you greet each one of the seated individually with "Peace be upon you," "Peace be upon you," until you finish shaking hands with everyone. No, when the one entering comes in from the door, "Peace be upon you," this greeting is directed to everyone. If it is easy for him to shake hands with every individual among the seated, then that is better for him and more lasting. But if there is difficulty, like now, the number, may Allah bless it, is many, then he sits where the gathering ends, and he is content with "Peace be upon you." If it is easy for him to shake hands when the number is small, then that is better, as we mentioned earlier from the saying of that Companion: And from his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) which explains a very great reward for the Muslim shaking hands with his Muslim brother, which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .
So the handshake is a Shari'ah cause among the causes of forgiveness from Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for His two servants who shake hands. This is what I wanted to point out, because I have seen many people, and especially those who do not follow the methodology of the Sunnah and the righteous Salaf, have made it a custom in this era to greet every individual among the seated. This is not from the Sunnah. If you know the research we presented before this session, that the religion is complete, and that there is no room for innovation, which some call juristic preference (istihsan), if you know that, then we stop at what is established for us from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), whether verbal or practical. And this is what I wanted to explain, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. If anyone has a question regarding the previous speech and explanation, he has priority in answering it. Otherwise, we will hear your questions before our time runs out. Yes.
