Standing for the teacher when he enters

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to stand for a teacher when he enters?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible to stand for a person out of respect for him. Standing to greet him is fine, or to serve him if he needs service.
Stand up for your master,قوموا إلى سيدكم،
When they needed to, they would dismount from the horse or the donkey
Rise to your master.قوموا إلى سيدكم
because he was injured (may Allah be pleased with him). If the one arriving needs service, or if you are greeting him, there is no harm. But standing out of respect for him is not permissible. Yes.
