23. If your elders are engaged in some ibaadah or work and you wish to speak to them or discuss some matter with them, you should wait for them to complete whatever they are engaged in. When waiting for them, you should wait at a slight distance so that they are not disturbed by your presence. Thereafter, when they complete their ibaadah or work, you may meet them and discuss your need with them. In this manner, you will not disrupt their programme nor inconvenience them.
