Abstract
In this article, we mention the verdicts and opinions of Sunnis about touching and kissing the Holy Quran, the tomb of the Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H), the tomb of the Righteous, Hajar al-Aswad( the Black Stone), Yamani Corner, the face of the dead and holy things like these. In some cases the opinions of two or more sects about one issue is mentioned and in some cases only one opinion is brought. This article has not discussed all the topics regarding touching and kissing holy things. The references of this article are mostly from the Sunni sources. Bringing a lot of reasons and evidences, we prove that not only there is no prohibition for touching and kissing holy things, (people like Ibn Teymieh considers it polytheism) but also according to Sunni Jurists and scholars this action is recommended.
