The ruling on bending down to kiss one’s mother’s foot

Question:
Abu Nuhyan from al-Bahah, please, Abu Nuhyan. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace. First, we testify to Allah that we love you for the sake of Allah, O Shaykh. Yes. May Allah keep you in good health. Please proceed. The second thing, may you live long, I have two questions. The first question is: What is the ruling on bending down to kiss one’s mother’s foot if she is standing?

Answer:
Yes, bending down is not permissible except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). However, kissing one’s mother’s hand—the hand, not the foot—kissing one’s mother’s hand, or one’s father’s hand, or a scholar’s hand, or the hand of the one in authority, there is nothing wrong with that, but without bending down. If one lowers oneself slightly for the sake of the kiss, there is nothing wrong with that.
As for bending down and lowering oneself while standing to kiss the mother’s foot, this is not recommended, and it also involves excessive effort. Yes, if one does not need to lower oneself, and he is sitting at her feet and kisses them as a sign of respect for her, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
