Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A man kissing and embracing his wife in public places is contrary to modesty, and it is a custom of disbelievers. It resembles the actions of animals and is considered a lack of shame, from which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned, saying: "If you have no shame, then do as you please."
