The Shaykh’s disapproval of those who enter a gathering and greet every individual in it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In any case, in my own view, I would like to mention our brothers, or some of our brothers, who attended our gathering in the first session, before breaking the fast. I noticed that some of them, when they enter, do not limit themselves to the greeting upon entry; rather, when they shake hands with their brothers, they offer the greeting. So, for every person who is greeted, he says, "Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be upon you." These are real matters that contradict the Prophetic Sunnah, and we must know them. And what do we say after we have agreed that there are no trivial matters in Islam? We do not say that these are trivial matters. No, these are acts of worship, but they are not among the most important matters. And as that one said...
"Knowledge, if you seek it, is abundant, *** and life is short for acquiring it.
So prioritize the more important of them over the less important."
