Visiting the Sick and Making Du'a for Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Honorable Shaykh, if a person visits a sick woman, is the visit only for one time, even though the patient has been ill for several years? And what is the prescribed supplication for the sick person?
Answer:
Visiting the sick is recommended, and this is a right of a Muslim over another Muslim: if he falls ill, he is to be visited, even if his illness lasts a long time. However, he is not to visit him every day; rather, he visits him one day after another, or after several days. The important thing is that he does not forget him, but comes to see him from time to time, and supplicates for him for healing and forgiveness. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
