A: Male and female students should not stand up for a teacher; the least that can be said about such an act is that it is highly Makruh (reprehensible). Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "None among the people was more beloved to them (i.e., the Companions) than the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), yet when they saw him none of them stood up for him, for they knew how much he hated that." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Whoever likes the people to stand up for him, let him take his place in Hell."
