The Fiqh of Covering One's Nakedness (Awra)

For kissing, touching my uncle’s wife (as in greetings) is this lawful? She claims to be like my mother in which we feel that way but Islam is Islam and I don’t want to compromise it. Is there a certain age for ladies to hit when it would be permissible to kiss their hands or face for a male (I’m male)?

Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

Your uncle’s wife is not of your unmarriageable kin (mahram). As such, physical contact with her would be haram, unless she is and old, elderly lady—in such a case, such contact would be permitted when there is no fear of desire for either side.
