Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success
Answer:
If a man greets me and extends his hand to shake mine while he is standing and I am sitting, there is nothing wrong with that, especially if you are unable to stand. Standing up to meet him while standing is better, but if you do not stand, there is no harm in that. Yes.
