Bowing before people
Question
When I meet my Aunt (father's sister) do I need to bow my head in meeting her or can I just make Salaam from a distance?
Answer
You can make salaam. Bowing the head before anybody is not permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
