Kissing wife’s feet out of RESPECT

However, it is also important to mention here that kissing the feet of a wife out of respect is not allowed in Islam. There is a huge difference between kissing feet for love and kissing feet out of respect.

When you kiss someone’s feet out of respect, it gives an impression that you are in a state of Sajda which is permissible to only Allah. This is the reason, many scholars have forbidden kissing the feet of parents.
