Re: Mixed or Separate Family Gatherings. Please advise

^Well said. One of those cases I was trying to explain. Secondly there are some aunties who used to be so much involved in your brought-up that they start thinking that their right of kissing your forehead is still there even though you have grown up and are now na-mehram for them. Similarly some cousins don’t realize that our childhood days are over, when we use to play cricket, carum, luddo, ..etc. So when they come from USA, they excitedly ask about you and try to shake your hands and their husbands give you a smile as if to say, no problem it is a sawab to do that.

An aunt visited one of my friend’s house. Even though she is of his mother’s age, she doesn’t realize that she is na-mehram and keep trying to put her hand on his head and kiss his forehead, and he keeps moving one step back and obediently trying to avoid it. Everyone was shocked, “Beta, mein to aap ki walida ki tarah hoon…”

Of course their intentions are pure, but so are the orders of Allah (swt) and the ways of HIS prophet (Saw).

Something is wrong with you, dude.
