Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: In our country, there is a custom where a son bows to his father out of respect for him.
Answer:
It is not permissible. This is bowing (ruku'), and it is not permissible for a created being. This is bowing as an act of worship, and it is not permissible except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
