The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, welcomed some of his companions, embracing them and kissing some of them between their eyes, such as Ja’far ibn Abi Talib, Usama ibn Zayd, and his daughter Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with them. As for non- women, his hand never touched the hand of a woman unlawful to him, as reported by Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: "The hand of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, never touched the hand of a woman, except for a woman he owned."
