Question
Is it permissible for men to kiss each other in the cheeks like most Arabs and Mediterranean people do?
Answer
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
It is disliked for men to kiss each other in the face, except for someone who comes back from a journey or the like, then it is permissible if this kissing does not result in an affliction and provided the kissing is not as with desire; that is absolutely forbidden.
