Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We often hear people say, "My master so-and-so ibn so-and-so," or "My lord so-and-so ibn so-and-so." What is the ruling on saying this to a created being?
Answer:
It has no meaning. If a created being is called "master" or "lord," meaning that he is great, or that "lord" means "master," it is the same meaning. Yes.
