Hug or not to Hug?

Re: Hug or not to Hug?

I don't see what the big deal is. They are your blood relatives. Depends on how the cousins on your dad's side would react. If you hugged them, would they reciprocate? Or would they back away?

I honestly never understood the mehram/na-mehram thing. If you are pure of heart, then what's the big deal?
