Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Using the phrase "our master, the Shaykh"?

Answer:
No, it is not appropriate. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Let none of you say: "My master"; for your master is Allah.لا يقول أحدكم: مولاي؛ فإنَّ مولاكم الله
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 64:721
, except in the case of a slave, where the slave may say to his master: "My master." There is nothing wrong with a slave saying this.
