Hugging and kissing one’s sister

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Is it permissible for a man to hug his sister and to kiss her on the forehead?

Bismillaah

A: Though it is permissible, but because of the abundant suspicion and fitnah that is going around we discourage this.

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