Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is bending down to kiss the head of one of one's parents, or the head of any person of high status, considered shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
No, this is a form of greeting, a greeting to one's parents. You are bending down to kiss your father's head, and this is an act of dutifulness. Yes.
