Kissing the head of an elderly woman who is not a mahram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a man to kiss the head of an elderly woman who is not among his mahrams?

Answer:
No, no, and he does not shake her hand, nor does he kiss her head; it is only by speech. He greets her with words. Yes.
