Answer:
To do sajdah to anyone or anything other than Allah Almighty is clearly haram. It can only be classified as shirk if the person doing sajdah – to other than Allah Almighty – does so with the intention of ‘worship’. There are major differences between shirk and haram and one should be extremely careful when using these classifications.
