Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner has a set of questions. He says: What is the Sunnah regarding the rewarded du'a for the sick person? And what is the specific time for its completion with this sick person?
Answer:
Visiting the sick is a Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded, and he made it a right of the Muslim upon the Muslim. However, one should not prolong sitting with him or burden him, unless the sick person desires it. As for the du'a, he should pray for him for healing, well-being, and reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
