In this clip Dr Israr Ahmed discusses if it’s acceptable to stand in front of elders, scholars, or parents. He says standing to greet someone is fine, but standing in a prayer-like way is not allowed, especially at religious sites. For instance, standing in front of the Prophet's grave like in prayer is forbidden. He stresses that only Allah deserves that level of respect, and while it's okay to show respect to others, it shouldn’t resemble worship.
