Is it allowed in Islam to kiss hand or forehead of own sisters

Wa `alaykum As-Salamu wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

 

There is no problem as long as you kiss her for showing compassion and mercy. ‘Aishah narrated: “I have not seen anyone closer in conduct, way, and manners to that of the Messenger of Allah in regards to standing and sitting, than Fatimah the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).” She said “Whenever she would enter upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) he would stand to her and kiss her, and he would sit her in his sitting place. Whenever the Prophet (peace be upon him) entered upon her she would stand from her seat, and kiss him and sit him in her sitting place. So when the Prophet (peace be upon him) fell sick and Fatimah entered, she bent over and kissed him. Then she lifted her head and cried, then she bent over him and she lifted her head and laughed. So I said: ‘I used to think that this one was from the most intelligent of our women, but she is really just one of the women.’ So when the Prophet (peace be upon him) died, I said to her: ‘Do you remember when you bent over the Prophet (peace be upon him) and you lifted your head and cried, then you bent over him, then you lifted your head and laughed. What caused you to do that?’ She said: ‘Then, I would be the one who spreads the secrets. He (peace be upon him) told me that he was to die from his illness, so I cried. Then he told me that I would be the quickest of his family to meet up with him. So that is when I laughed.'”

 

Similarly, Al-Bara said: I went with Abu Bakr into his home (carrying that saddle) and there I saw his daughter `A’ishah lying in a bed because of heavy fever and I saw her father Abu Bakr kissing her cheek and saying, “How are you, little daughter?” (Al-Bukhari)

 

Almighty Allah knows best.
