Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible for a man to kiss his daughter, whether young or old, on the cheek without lust, just as Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq did with his daughter Aisha. It is preferable to avoid kissing on the mouth, as it may arouse lust. Similarly, it is permissible for a daughter to kiss her father on his nose or head without lust. As for kissing with lust, it is forbidden for everyone, as a means of blocking the path to temptation.
