The ruling on standing for a guest and shaking his hand

The following message was sent by one of the sisters from Makkah al-Mukarramah, saying: Umm Ahmad, I hope you will present my questions to His Eminence Shaykh Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz, along with my prayers for your success and correctness.
First: Is it permissible to stand for a guest to greet him? If it is not permissible, then he will shake your hand, and that requires bending down slightly so that your hand reaches his. It is our custom to kiss the hand of an elder out of respect, even if I did not know him before. Is this correct? And if this way is not correct, what is the correct way to greet those who are sitting when I arrive and there are guests in the gathering?
Answer: It is permissible to stand for a guest, meet him, embrace him if he is coming from a journey, or shake his hand. All of this is from the Sunnah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand for his daughter Fatimah when she came to him and take her hand. Likewise, she used to do the same when he entered her presence; she would stand for him and take his hand, (peace and blessings be upon him). When Sa'd ibn Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), the leader of the Aws, came to judge the matter of Banu Qurayzah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Companions: , so they stood for him and greeted him. There is nothing wrong with this, and there is no blame in it.
Standing for a guest to shake his hand, welcome him, and meet him is a prescribed matter. What is disliked is for people to stand at the head of a seated person to honor him, or for them to stand merely without approaching him or shaking his hand, but only as a gesture of honor and respect while remaining in their places. This is the disliked thing that should not be done. Likewise, standing over him while he is seated to honor him is not permissible, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it. As for standing for one who is arriving to shake his hand and welcome him, this is a prescribed matter and there is nothing wrong with it. It is not appropriate for one to sit and let the guest bend down to him; rather, he should stand, shake the guest's hand, and honor the guest. If the host is excused because he is advanced in age or ill, then the guest sits and shakes his hand, or extends his hand to him and bends down until he reaches him. This is not bending in honor; it is not called honoring, but it is bending in order to shake his hand. If he lowers his head and back to shake his hand because he is seated or lying down, or has sat down and..., all of this is permissible. What is forbidden is bending in honor like a person in bowing (ruku') when entering upon a king, a prince, or so-and-so, and bending to him. This is an abomination and is not permissible. However, if one bends because the Muslim is short, or is seated, or is an ill person lying down, and he bends to shake his hand, this is not a matter of honoring, but a matter of respecting his brother and fulfilling the Sunnah of shaking hands with his brother. For the Sunnah upon meeting is shaking hands, and there is no blame in this for the sake of shaking hands.
