Is the person on the right given precedence when entering the door, or the elder?

The questioner : Regarding entering the door... I say it is correct to proceed on the right. Does this fall under the category of favoring the right side?

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not apparent. The apparent ruling is that here, one begins with the elder.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I mean, it is not apparent.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : No, what we have found from the scholars is that they give precedence to the elder, and that is the apparent ruling. Because if the right side is your right, then for the one opening the door, it is on the left. The one who opens the door and faces you, your right becomes his left.

The questioner : There is no restriction on this.

The Shaykh : There is no restriction on this; we have not found that they adopt this practice. Rather, the elder is given precedence.

The questioner : ... favoring the right side in everything.

The Shaykh : I mean, in those who practiced it. In another hadith, the hadith of Anas: But when entering, there is no right or left, because you are all entering, all coming to a single place. So the elder is the one who is given precedence. Yes. Shaker?
