Is it correct to say to some prominent figures “Your Majesty,” “Your Highness”, “I hope,” “I wish” etc?.
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”.
