The ruling on kissing a parent's head during prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to kiss the head of one of one's parents if he is sometimes praying or if he never prays at all?
Answer:
It is not permissible to do this, because this is an expression of love and respect, and it is not permissible to show such respect in that manner. However, this does not prevent being kind to him in worldly matters. As for expressions of affection, such as kissing the head and the like, these are not permissible.
