If a Group of People Come to the Door of the Masjid or House, Should They Enter From the Right – Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan

Question: Is it from the Sunnah, when a group of people stop at the door of the masjid or the door of one of the houses, to say: “From the right, from the right” using as evidence the Hadith that the Prophet (ﷺ) loved to begin with the right?

Answer: “No, this is from the origin of:

كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ ‏

“Let the older one speak. Let the older one speak”.

[Agreed upon]

The older one enters [first]. The older one enters the door first. [As comes in the Hadith]:

كَبِّرْ كَبِّرْ ‏

“Let the older one speak. Let the older on speak”.

[Agreed upon]
