The answer

Every unnatural inclination, such as an inclination from a female to a female, is forbidden, and its causes must be avoided. Some scholars have prohibited kissing individuals of the same sex under normal circumstances, while others deemed it disliked, based on the of the man who asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "A man meets his brother, should he bow to him?" He said: "No." He said: "Should he embrace him and kiss him?" He said: "No." He said: "Should he take his hand and shake it?" He said: "Yes."
