Newlyweds Kubra Khan and Gohar Rasheed recently tied the knot in a grand ceremony, with their Nikkah taking place at Masjid Al Haram in Makkah.
A video of Gohar kissing Kubra’s forehead after their Nikkah went viral, receiving love and admiration from fans.
During an appearance on Samaa Punjabi’s Ramadan transmission, religious scholar Engineer Muhammad Ali Mirza was asked about the couple’s affectionate moment. He criticized the act, stating:
- While Islam promotes love and affection between spouses, public displays of affection in sacred places like Masjid Al Haram should be avoided.
- He emphasized that while a forehead kiss is not inappropriate, it sets a precedent for others to display affection openly in holy sites.
- He cautioned against blurring the lines between personal expressions of love and maintaining the sanctity of religious places.
Public reaction
The scholar’s comments have sparked debate on social media—with some agreeing with his perspective, while others argue that a simple forehead kiss between a married couple is harmless.
