Hug

Question:

I hugged my cousin (my aunt's daughter). But not with any wrong intention.

Is it a sin..?

- Mann

Sister Z's Answer:

Asalaamualaikum Brother Mann, (assuming you are male),

Islamically, you are not mahram to your female cousins - so they are required to observe hijaab infront of you.
So, no you are not allowed to hug them.

In my opinion, I would not dwell on this - as you say you had no wrong intention.

Do tawbah and in future, just take care to observe the limits set by Allah.
