Saying “Your Majesty” etc
Question: 41629
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
There is nothing wrong with it provided that the one to whom you say that deserves it, and there is no fear that this will lead to pride and self-admiration. The same applies to saying, “I hope” and “I wish”.
