Is it permissible to kiss nose to nose when greeting?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The questioner : For example, Shaykh, there is a custom among the people of Murrah where a person kisses the mouth of the other when greeting him. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it. I mean, kissing with the lips is done either on the forehead or on the head, and between the noses as you say. I do not see anything wrong with this, but one should be careful not to do it forcefully so as to break his nose.
The questioner : All right, there is a matter, Shaykh. I wiped over my leather socks.
The Shaykh : A second question will not do. Wait until it is your turn.
