Hand kissing is one of non-verbal communications being common in most of cultures throughout the world. This non-verbal communication is performed in Muslim societies for older family members especially parents, rulers, social dignitaries, and religious scholars. The messages conveyed in this type of communication include the expression of gratitude, love, and obeisance. Considering the messages hidden in this kind of communication, a question raised in this paper as to what is the jurisprudential ruling of this behavior. In this case, jurisprudential analysis comes to this conclusion that hand kissing, carrying each of three above–mentioned messages, is not religiously illegal, if three following conditions are fulfilled: (a) it does not include certain Muslim prohibitions related to forbidden sexual desires, (b) it does not lead to people’s humiliation, and (c) it does not show pure obedience which God, prophets, and infallible ones deserve. If hand kissing is practiced for expression of cordiality and esteem of the believers, it can be recommended. Furthermore, it can be religiously unlawful if its omission leads to harassment, humiliation, or braking the heart of the believers that kissing their hands is conventional.
