The Ruling on Kissing the Hands of Parents and People of Virtue

Question:
What is the ruling on kissing the hands of people of virtue, status, righteousness, and parents?

Answer:
If it is customary in some cases, the matter is easy, but one should not make it a habit; it should be left. However, if people in his country are accustomed to it, and he sees that if he leaves it off, they will consider it a slight against him and a disparagement of him, then there is no harm in doing it when there is a need for it, in the context of blocking the means that lead to enmity, hostility, or the suspicion of being belittled.
And so it is with the father; there is nothing wrong with it. "Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), when she entered upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would stand up to her, take her hand, and kiss it. And when she entered upon him, she would stand up to him, take his hand, and kiss it" (may Allah be pleased with her) and (peace and blessings be upon him).
So there is no blame. The father has a great right. So if he kisses his hand, or kisses his head, there is nothing wrong with it. But making this a habit, every hour, every hour, leaving it off may be better, except specifically with the father. As for with people, if he does it sometimes to avoid some evil, or some enmity, there is nothing wrong with it. But with the father, there is no blame, due to the action of Fatimah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
