Mishkat al-Masabih 332

Arabic hadith text

وَعَن ابْن عُمَرَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: إِن الْقبْلَة من اللَّمْس فتوضؤوا مِنْهَا

Translation

Ibn ʿUmar reported that ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said: ‘A kiss is a form of al-lams (touching), so perform ablution after it.’

Translation notes
  • The accompanying grading labels this report weak. Al-lams literally means touching and may be used as a euphemism for sexual contact; the translation retains the term’s broad wording.
