Whether you can kiss your daughter while fasting depends on the context of the question. It's important to clarify whether the question pertains to Islamic fasting (Ramadan) or general moral considerations.
Islamic Perspective: Kissing and Fasting
If this question is in the context of Islamic fasting, the permissibility of kissing your daughter while fasting is not explicitly discussed in the provided reference. The reference states:
- "...kissing a girl or even touching a non-mahram girl is haram at all times ,not only in Ramadan."
This statement implies that the permissibility hinges on whether the daughter is considered a mahram (a relative whom one is permanently prohibited from marrying). A daughter is, of course, a mahram. Kissing a mahram relative is generally permissible, assuming it doesn't lead to impure thoughts or desires. However, context matters; a simple kiss of affection is different from a passionate kiss. Therefore, kissing your daughter is permissible in Islam but it is highly discouraged if it arises impure thoughts or desires.
General Moral Perspective: Kissing Your Daughter
From a general moral standpoint, kissing your daughter is widely considered acceptable and a normal expression of familial affection. The key is maintaining appropriateness.
- A kiss on the cheek or forehead is a common and acceptable way to show love and affection to a child, regardless of their age.
- The context and intention behind the kiss are crucial. Any action that could be perceived as sexualizing a child is, of course, morally reprehensible and illegal.
Summary:
| Perspective | Permissibility | Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Islamic (Fasting) | Generally permissible for mahram relatives (like daughters) but discouraged with impure thoughts | Context, intention, avoiding arousal |
| General Moral | Generally permissible, especially simple kisses of affection | Maintaining appropriateness, avoiding any action that could be construed as sexual or harmful |
