The Ruling on Standing for a Guest in a Gathering
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man entered while I was in a gathering, and those present stood up for him, but I did not stand. Is it obligatory for me to stand, and is there a sin on those who stood?
Answer:
If they stood to greet him and welcome him, there is no harm. But if they stood out of respect and honor for him, that is not permissible. Whoever likes for men to stand up for him, let him take his seat in the Fire, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Shaykh,
