The questioner : What is the ruling on kissing parents and sisters on the cheeks?
The Shaykh : Kissing parents, other than on the hands, wherever the kiss of mercy and affection is placed, is permissible. As for kissing the hands, that is a kiss of veneration, and this is not permissible except for some of the pious scholars.
The questioner : Yes, by Allah. And what about sisters? Is it permissible?
The Shaykh : It is permissible with the same meaning.
The questioner : With the same meaning, yes. Praise be to Allah.
