Question:
What is the ruling on prostrating to images? Is it considered shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Therefore, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a Muslim from bending to his brother in the manner of bowing in prayer. It is not permissible to bend in that way. Yes. So what about prostrating? Yes.
