Leaving a sick brother at the point of death and the deeds that reach him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is one of the brothers. The questioner, Sa'id Ahmad from Jeddah, says: Honorable Shaykh, my brother asked me to stay with him in the hospital until the end of the visiting hours, but I did not respond to him and went with my wife. He said, “I will not forgive you or grant you permission.” Then he passed away that night after I left him. Do I owe anything? And what are the deeds I can try to do to reach him?
Answer:
Yes, you erred in this, as long as your brother needed your presence, especially since he is close to death and needs you to stay with him. So you erred in this. You must seek forgiveness and repent. Also, if you want to benefit him with charity, supplication, or Hajj or 'Umrah, that is an increase of good and kindness from you toward him. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and may He bless you and your knowledge
