What is the ruling on "al-takhsheem" (greeting by touching noses) in general? Is it permissible to do it with women? Who are the people with whom "takhsheem" is permissible and with whom it is not? And what is the reason for its impermissibility, if any, especially if the intention is to maintain kinship ties?
"Al-takhsheem" is a type of kissing. If it is on the mouth, it is not permissible due to the strong likelihood of lust. If it is on the nose, and lust is suspected, it is not permissible; otherwise, it is permissible between mahrams (unmarriageable kin) of both genders, but not with non-mahrams.
