Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, what is the ruling on female students in the class standing up for their female teacher out of respect when she enters the classroom?
The Shaykh : Standing up for a female or male teacher when they enter the classroom out of respect and honor is not recommended, because the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not do that with their Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he is the most deserving of people of respect and honor. However, it is said that they did so in order to pay attention.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : And to prepare for the teacher and the knowledge he imparts. If this is the intention, then I hope there is no harm in it.
The questioner : Very well.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. This is a Egyptian, Shihata, a, a, he says, Your Eminence.
