Teaching the dying disbeliever the testimony of faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says that he is a nurse and works in the intensive care unit of the hospital,
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
He says: Sometimes some of the patients are disbelievers. Is it permissible for me, if I see one of them dying, to go to him and teach him the testimony of faith? And if he says it, is he ruled to be a Muslim?
The Shaykh:
When the soul reaches the throat, Islam is not accepted from him. Everyone who is at the point of death is considered to have submitted, everyone is considered to have submitted, but his Islam is not accepted if he was not a Muslim before that.
