Is saying "on this nose" to the person making the request considered humiliation, since the nose is not used to draw near to Allah except in prostration?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. When someone asks us for something, we say to him, "on this nose." Is this considered humiliation, since the nose is not used to draw near to Allah except in prostration?

Answer:
No, this is not in the category of prostration. This is a commitment, meaning that you are committed to this matter. This is in the category of customs, not in the category of worship.
