# It is forbidden to hug a sister.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 21:7. Chelkat Mechokek EH 21:9 allows hugging a sister who is 3 years old. Rosh Pinah 21:9 writes that it is only permitted while she is 3 or younger, but not afterwards.</ref> | |||
# It is permitted for a father to hug a daughter, even if she's married. Similarly, a mother can hug her son.<ref>Shulchan Aruch E.H. 21:7, Bet Shmuel 21:15 quoting Prisha. Otzar Haposkim 21:55 supports this from Minchat Pittim who writes that it was Arizal's practice to kiss his mother's hand every erev Shabbat, even though he was an adult. However, see Otzar Haposkim who quotes Netivot Lshevet and Meiri that it is forbidden to hug a daughter that is physically mature and perhaps even younger.</ref> | |||
# It is permitted for a grandfather to hug a granddaughter.<Ref>Chelkat Mechokek 21:10, Bet Shmuel 21:14, Pitchei Teshuva 21:5 quoting Chida</ref> Some distinguish between a granddaughter that is a daughter of a daughter, which is permitted to hug, and a daughter of a son, which is forbidden.<Ref>Igrot Moshe EH 1:60 writes that perhaps it is only permitted to hug a daughter of a daughter since even if he comes to have a hirhur about her parents that isn't an issue. But it is forbidden to hug a son's daughter because he couldn't have a hirhur about her parents, namely, his daughter-in-law. He isn't certain about this idea but says that a scrupulous person should be careful to be strict but not protest one who is lenient. Otzar Haposkim 21:52:2 quotes Igrot Moshe without dissent.</ref> | |||
