Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do Muslim royals curtsey\/bow to each other?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bowing or prostrating to other than Allah Ta\u2019ala is impermissible regardless of the bowing or prostration being done as worship or out of respect (royal\/courtesy bow)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mufti Shafi Rahimullah explains the verse in surah Yusuf:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0648\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0641\u064e\u0639\u064e \u0623\u064e\u0628\u064e\u0648\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0647\u0650 \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0631\u0652\u0634\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u062e\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0651\u0648\u0627 \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0633\u064f\u062c\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064b\u0627 \u06d6<\/span><\/p>\n

And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that it was said: \u0648\u064e\u062e\u064e\u0631\u064f\u0651\u200c\u0648\u0627 \u0644\u064e\u0647\u064f \u0633\u064f\u062c\u064e\u0651\u062f\u064b\u0627 (and they all fell before him in prostration), that is, the parents and all brothers did sajdah before Sayyidna Yusuf I. Sayyidna ` Abdullah ibn ` Abbas (\u0631\u0636) has said that this prostration of gratitude was for Allah Ta` ala, and not for Sayyidna Yusuf (\u0639\u0644\u06cc\u06c1 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645). Others have said that a Sajdah or Sujud (prostration) as part of ` Ibadah (worship), when done for anyone other than Allah, has always been forbidden in the Shari’ah of every prophet. But, the Sajdah of Ta` zim (veneration) was permissible in the religious codes of past proph\u00acets – which has been prohibited in the Shari\u2019 ah of Islam on the basis that it is a source of Shirk. This is confirmed by Hadith reports from Al-Bukhari and Muslims that Sajdah (prostration) for anyone other than Allah is not Halal.1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n
