Girl hugging her uncles

· 23 Rajab 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Is it permissible for me to hug my uncles e.g. mother's brothers and father's brothers?

Answer

Though it is permissible, however on account of the abundant fithna found everywhere and suspicions created in the minds of people, it is not advisable.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
