Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a brother to embrace his sister when one of them returns from a journey?
Answer:
If there is a fear of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), then no. But if he kisses her on the top of her head or on her forehead, there is no harm in that. It is only on the cheek or on the mouth that there is a concern. Yes.
