Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: What is the ruling on presenting flowers to a patient or to others on other occasions?
Answer:
This is from the customs of the disbelievers; it is not among the customs of the Muslims. Presenting flowers to the sick is one of the customs of the disbelievers. It is not befitting for Muslims to do this. If they want to benefit the patient, they should make du'a for him, or treat him at their own expense, or do something similar. Yes. As for the flowers, the patient does not benefit from them. Yes.
