Shirk and its different forms
Does prostrating or bowing by way of greeting come under the heading of shirk?

52,044He claims to have a hair of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and he wants to build a mosque in which to preserve it!
Seeking barakah from this hair is not permissible and it is a means that may lead to shirk, because it is impossible to prove that it is actually a hair of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). By the same token, it is not permissible to build a mosque for it and keep it in that mosque, even if we assume for argument’s sake that it is actually a hair of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and is proven by an unbroken, sound chain of narration.100,705He believes that the reason for the prevalence of shirk is the occurrence of “miracles”
