The ruling on standing up for people when greeting them on occasions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue is: Is it prescribed for a person to stand up for people when greeting them at parties and occasions, and is this action one of their customs?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Standing up to greet someone is fine. However, standing up solely out of respect is not permissible. Standing up just for the sake of respect is not permissible. But if he stands up to greet the one entering or the one arriving, there is nothing wrong with that, because he cannot greet him unless he stands up to shake his hand or embrace him, if he is coming from a journey. Yes.
