Sisters kissing and hugging each other

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: Can siblings kiss each other just on forehead or cheeks, can I hug my sisters? We three met after 17 years.

Bismillaah

A: You may hug them provided you are sure that it will not be done with lust.

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