The one who points with his finger while sick, O Shaykh, what is the validity of that?
Answer:
There is no basis for this. He does not point; rather, he points with his head. Some scholars say that if he cannot do so with his head, he does it with his eye. However, the Shaykh al-Islam says there is no basis for this. Yes.
