Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: If a person passes by the dwellings of the afflicted, is it permissible for him to intentionally enter them and be weeping, as is understood from the hadith, “unless you are weeping”?
Answer:
It is only passing by. As for going to them, intending to enter them, that is not permissible for him. Yes, but if he passes by them and it is on his travel route, and he is not going there but is a traveler and they are on his way, he looks at them and takes a lesson from them. Yes.
