The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man greets me and extends his hand to shake mine.
The Shaykh:
Does this mean it is not done with children? As for you, if you give a child a sweet, you give your son the same sweet as the other child. No, this is between children; you do not give one something special over the other. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man greets me and extends his hand to shake mine while he is standing and I am sitting.
The Shaykh:
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.
