The Ruling on Visiting the Sick Among Innovators and People of Desires, and Attending to Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to visit and check on the sick among the innovators and the people of desires? Does doing so amount to showing them respect?
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 da'wah (calling to Islam), that is different. If they are visiting the sick among them, that is for the sake of da'wah. However, visiting them for any reason other than da'wah is not permissible.
