What is the difference between visiting the sick and visiting a patient?

Question : In any case, specifically, should it be called a visit to the sick, or a visit?

Answer : Yes, the scholars say that there is a difference between a visit and a visit to the sick, even though a visit to the sick is a type of visit. A visit to the sick is a visit, but it is more specific. So a visit is not like a visit to the sick. A visit to the sick is for illness. Then, visiting the sick implies that it is repeated, because it is from the word for returning, time after time, like the festival which is repeated. A visit may be that you do not visit him except once a year, but a visit to the sick is repeated according to what the situation requires. We mentioned yesterday in the previous lesson that it differs according to the degree of kinship, and according to the rights, and according to the condition of the patient, and according to the illness.
