Whether kissing is a sin in Islam depends on the relationship between the individuals involved.
According to the provided Hadith, physical contact, including kissing, is not permissible between a Muslim and a non-mahram. A mahram refers to individuals who are closely related by blood, marriage, or breastfeeding, and are therefore considered unmarriageable to one another. Non-mahrams, on the other hand, are individuals who are permissible to marry.
| Category | Permissibility |
|---|---|
| Kissing between mahrams | Generally permissible, within cultural norms and decency. |
| Kissing between non-mahrams | Not permissible. |
Therefore, based on the hadith, it is considered a sin for a Muslim to kiss someone who is not a mahram. This includes any form of physical contact.
