Kissing the hand of the head of the household

The second question of Fatwa number ( 6448 )
Q2: What is the ruling in Islam regarding kissing the hands of the head of the household, out of love, respect, and appreciation, with no other intention, and addressing the head of the household as "my master" for the same intention?
A2 : If a person kisses another person's hand as a sign of honor, or for knowledge, or for fatherhood, or the like, and it is not made a habit at every meeting, there is nothing wrong with it. However,
if it becomes a habit at every meeting, it is disliked. It is also disliked for him to say to the head of the household, "My master," because
When some of the Companions said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "You are our master," he said: "The Master is Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He)"النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لما قـال له بعض الصحابة: أنت سيدنا قال: السيد الله تبارك وتعالى
, and because that may lead to the arrogance of the one to whom it is said. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
