Aslam-o-alaikum I have question whether a brother and sister can hug, kiss each other on cheeks or lay down on bed or sofa together ? i know this brother, age 30, who raised her sister like a daughter. Now her sister is 13 years old but she is physically mature. she looks like 18 years old girl. In this condition, are they aloud to hug, kiss each other and lay down together on the same bed? sometimes they even do sleep while huging each other? are they even aloud to do this . thanks, Fe AmanAllah

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Wa'alaykum 'Assalam wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuAll Praise be to Allah who is the Lord of the Worlds, and may Endless Blessings be showered upon His Most Beloved, and Final Messenger of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa 'aalihi wa Sallam A brother and sister cannot hug and kiss each other, nor can they lay down on a bed or sofa together. The brother and sister relationship is that of a 'mahram', someone with whom the nikah is haram. Since the above mentioned actions only take place when someone is married, and it is haram for a brother and sister to get married, therefore the above mentioned actions will also be forbidden, especially if it intices sexual relationship. The age in which a girl reaches the age of maturity is from 9-13. Since the girl is now 13, she will be regarded as pysically mature, and she will have to adhere to the rules of hijab, whether she is with a non mahram, which can also extend to mahrams. At this age she should be able to look after herself, and care for herself, and have her own privacy. Jazak'allah for your question. Wallahu A'lamu BiththawaabM. Waseem Ashrafi
