Is it permissible to visit a sick person who abandons the prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the sick person is a relative and he does not pray, is it recommended to visit him, or is it not permissible because the one who abandons the prayer is a disbeliever? If the visit is to remind him to repent, so that perhaps he will repent
Answer:
then that is something required. But if it is for companionship and he is not reminded to repent, then that is not permissible. This is more severe than the innovator. Yes.
