Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Is it permissible for a person to prostrate in greeting to his father or his brothers in this time?

The Shaykh:
This has been abrogated, my brother. The prostration of greeting has been abrogated. No one prostrates to anyone. This has been abrogated. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
They wanted to prostrate to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in greeting, but he prevented them from doing so and said:
If I were to order anyone to prostrate to anyone, then I would order the wife to prostrate to her husband.لو كنت آمرا أحدا أن يسجد لأحد لأمرت المرأة أن تسجد لزوجها
