Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: We greet the sayyids by kissing their hands and their knees because they are from the Household of the Prophet, and this is out of respect for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Our people have taught us this practice, so what is the ruling on this matter?

Answer:
There is no evidence for this, and there is no basis for it. There is no basis for it. And there is no evidence that one should kiss the knees and the feet. This is what the evidence indicates. Yes.
