A discussion on the types of standing up for others.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

The questioner : ... So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this practice at that time, and I believe its time has ended?

The Shaykh : What time has ended?

The questioner : The time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh : The time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has ended?

The questioner : No, the time of showing excessive respect to individuals.

The Shaykh : Strange.

The questioner : Which is, for example, standing up. For instance, if my grandfather came in, I would stand out of respect, not out of the excessive reverence they used to practice in the pre-Islamic age of ignorance...
The garment is long, and he drags it behind him like a bride’s dress today. This was intended as a sign of excessive reverence, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. And this, of course, increases the harm among Muslims today, so they go and buy a dishdasha and shorten it.
