Greeting and Kissing a Male Breastfeeding Sibling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says, or she says: Shaykh, we are sisters and we have a male sibling through breastfeeding. He visits us from time to time and greets us with a handshake and a kiss. Is this permissible?

Answer:
If the breastfeeding is established and meets the conditions, then he is a brother.
What is unlawful by reason of consanguinity is unlawful by reason of fosterage.يحرم من الرضاعة ما يحرم من الولادة
Sunan Abi Dawud 2055Sahih (Al-Albani)
. So he is a mahram, but a mahram. You may greet him and show him your faces, but the kiss should be on the head. He does not kiss the face, the cheek, or the mouth; rather, he kisses the head. Yes.
