The questioner : You mentioned that he kisses his wife, but as for the mother, he kisses her head. Is it not permissible to kiss her on the cheek or the mouth?
The Shaykh : Some scholars disliked kissing the mouth, even from the mother or a mahram (a relative one may not marry), and they were strict about it. Some of them allowed it as a dispensation. The cheek is less severe than the mouth. What is done by way of honor and exaltation is what is done on the head and the forehead.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : You have done well. Abu Zayd also says.
