The questioner : My Shaykh.
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. In my case, I lose consciousness. I miss several prayers. One or two days. So when he, meaning, regains consciousness
The questioner : What is obligatory for him regarding the missed prayers?
The Shaykh : Like a sleeping person. Yes.
The questioner : Like a sleeping person.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. My Shaykh, regarding... Yes, my Shaykh. Regarding
The questioner : kissing sisters and the reverse on festivals or otherwise, what do you say, my Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is not forbidden. If the kiss is one of affection and mercy, depending of course on whether the girl is young or old, as long as the matter is far from desire, there is no harm in it.
The questioner : Of course, it does not concern you, my Shaykh, even if it is kissing the cheeks. I mean the common practice now, where a sister comes to her brother or the reverse, and he kisses her cheeks or she kisses his, and of course, we say for an older person.
The Shaykh : According to the custom of the people. Yes. If the custom means realizing the meaning we mentioned earlier, and it has no relation, as is apparent, to desire, then there is no harm.
The questioner : There is nothing wrong.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
