Would withdrawing from a friend who embraces me in a provocative way, knowing of his attempts to recall his wife and my seeing other things I cannot mention, be considered an injustice to him, despite my previous intention to make him happy and my current feeling of distance from God?
If you perceive any suspicion from a man towards you, it is obligatory to part ways with him and cease cohabiting with him. A man kissing his brother is disliked, except for someone arriving from a journey or similar circumstances. It is forbidden if lust or suspicion is present. It is always forbidden to kiss a beardless youth (amrad) with a beautiful face. What you did, engaging in kissing him despite the appearance of suspicion, is a repulsive evil. You must repent from it by abandoning the act, regretting it, and resolving never to return to it, while also concealing the matter, advising the man, and instilling in him the fear of Allah.
