The ruling on standing for one who enters the gathering
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: Shaykh, a man entered while I was in a gathering, and everyone present in the house stood up for him, but I did not stand. Am I required to stand?
Answer:
If the standing is to welcome him and greet him, there is no harm. However, if the standing is merely to honor him, that is not permissible, and it is not permissible for the one entering to accept that. But if they stand to help him sit down or to greet him, there is no harm in that; rather, that is good. Yes.
