Clarification of the ruling on an elder kissing an elder, men kissing men, and women kissing women.

The Shaykh : Is it permissible for a man to kiss a man? The Shaykh: No; based on the third hadith, the hadith of Anas, in which it is said: . Does one of us embrace another? He said: .
Likewise, it is not permissible for a man to kiss a man in any case, with no distinction between travel and residence. And if this is not permissible, then it is even more so not permissible for women to kiss one another. This is a trial that women have all been afflicted with, and am I not mistaken? Therefore, you must strive against yourselves and all of you must abandon this custom. A woman should never kiss a woman, because a man does not kiss a man . So a woman does not kiss another, one does not kiss the other. Because the kiss that was established is the kiss of mercy, the kiss of compassion for the small child, but the kiss of greeting, no. In the aforementioned hadith of Anas: Does one of us meet his brother and kiss him? لا No.. Does he embrace him? لا No.. Does he hold him tightly? لا No.. Does he bow to him? لا No.. Does he shake his hand? He said: نعم Yes. So, handshaking is the etiquette in greeting in Islam, along with, of course, the words "Peace be upon you." As for a man kissing a man, or a woman kissing a woman, this is not at all among the Islamic etiquettes. And women in particular, who claim that they wish to adhere to the Book and the Sunnah, must fight this custom in two ways. The first, which is more deserving and preferable, is for some of them to do so with others. And the second is to spread and broadcast it: that whenever one sees another kissing a woman, she should say, "My sister, this is not found in Islam." Therefore, I said, but you must memorize this hadith, the hadith of Anas: Does one of us kiss another? He said: لا No..
