Answer : And what do you say about this? Yes, but does the custom agree? Not every custom is accepted. Let us see if it agrees with the Shari'ah? Depending on the situation. Sometimes it is said, "Shaykh," even regarding a habit. Yes, yes. Yes. It is not for glorification and exaltation. I heard that in some countries, a man came and found a dog lying on the threshold of his shop. He kicked it with his foot and said, "Get up, Shaykh." I no longer know if this is true or not? According to this view, the meaning of Shaykh among them is that any physical object is called Shaykh.
