Ruling on standing when greeting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Did the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all) prevent people from standing when greeting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
A3: It was not the custom of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to stand when greeting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in any case, neither when visiting his grave nor otherwise. It was not their habit to go to his grave to greet him (peace and blessings be upon him) every time they entered the Prophet’s Mosque and stand by it for the sake of greeting him. However, it is reported from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when he came from a journey, he would enter the Prophet’s Mosque, and after praying, he would go to his grave (peace and blessings be upon him) and greet him.
