Yes, a lip kiss between a husband and wife is considered halal (permitted) in Islam. It is an act of intimacy and affection within the bounds of marriage.
Here's why:
- Islamic Texts: The Quran and Hadiths (sayings and traditions of Prophet Muhammad) do not explicitly prohibit kissing between spouses.
- Sunnah (Practices of Prophet Muhammad): Prophet Muhammad himself engaged in acts of intimacy with his wives, including kissing.
- Emphasis on Love and Affection: Islam encourages spouses to express their love and affection for each other. This includes physical intimacy within the context of marriage.
Important Note: Kissing is considered intimate, and it's important to remember that Islam encourages modesty. Therefore, it is not appropriate to kiss anyone outside of a marital relationship.
