Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on standing up for a person who arrives in order to shake his hand or kiss him, as is common among many people today?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it. Standing up for a person in order to greet him is not a problem. Standing up to show him respect, not for the sake of greeting him, is what is disliked.
