The Ruling on Visiting the Sick Among Innovators and People of Desires
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to visit and check on the sick among the innovators (mubtadi') and people of desires? Does doing so encourage them?
Answer:
No, visiting them is for the purpose of calling them to Allah and asking them to repent. Now, if the polytheists are visited for the sake of calling them to the faith, even if they are dying—meaning, visiting their sick for the sake of calling them to the faith—that is permissible. However, visiting them without calling them to the faith is not permissible. Yes.
