Dutifulness to a sick father in the hospital and falling short in his rights
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, Abu 'Abdullah, says: Shaykh Salih, we have a father in the hospital for nearly eight years. We, his children, truly have our own occupations and circumstances, and they are very difficult. He was in a complete coma, and we provided him with a servant, a male servant, to care for him, and we visit him from time to time throughout these years. Have we fallen short in fulfilling his rights?
Answer:
You have not fallen short, as long as you have placed a companion with him to serve him, and you visit him, going to your work and visiting him from time to time to check on his condition. This is sufficient, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
