The Age When It Is Lawful to Kiss a Girl

1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ الْكَاهِلِيِّ وَأَظُنُّنِي قَدْ حَضَرْتُهُ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ جُوَيْرِيَةٍ لَيْسَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهَا مَحْرَمٌ تَغْشَانِي فَأَحْمِلُهَا فَأُقَبِّلُهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا أَتَى عَلَيْهَا سِتُّ سِنِينَ فَلا تَضَعْهَا عَلَى حَجْرِكَ.
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yahya al-Kahiliy from abu Ahmad al-Kahiliy -I think I met him who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) عليه السلام, about a girl who is not a relative to me who holds me and I carry her and kiss her. He (the Imam) said, ‘When she becomes six years old then you must not place her in your lap.’”
