Question

Hello, is it permissible for a son to stand in a place designated for his father?

Answer

Hello,

It is not permissible to stand in a place where his father usually stands for prayer, work, or any other matter. However, it is allowed to stand in a place where his father usually sits, as there is no disrespect in this.
