Bahá’í Quotes

Hugging

The pilgrim’s note reports the Master as saying: ‘Women and men must not embrace each other when not married, or not about to be married. They must not kiss each other… If they wish to greet each other, or comfort each other, they may take each other by the hand.

- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 440-441
