Is it permissible for a husband to kiss his deceased wife as a farewell?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Kissing the deceased is established in the Sunnah. It is permissible for a man to kiss his wife after her death, as long as nothing has occurred to necessitate separation between them. This is because it was permissible for him to wash her, so kissing is permissible a fortiori.
