The ruling on standing up for a scholar to kiss his head
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is standing up for a scholar to kiss his head considered one of the matters in which there is a prohibition?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who was the most knowledgeable of creation and the most knowledgeable of the community, they did not stand up for him when he came (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, he would come and sit down, and they would not stand up for him. And he disliked that they stand up for him (peace and blessings be upon him), except in the case of when he came from a journey. When he came from a journey and they stood up to greet him, there is no harm. But in ordinary gatherings, the best and most preferable is that they do not stand up. Rather, it is obligatory.
