Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good. I took it the day before yesterday, meaning.
The Shaykh:
Raise your voice, what?
The questioner:
I mentioned the day before yesterday that the woman was coming, that she would be sick.
The Shaykh:
Yes, yes.
The questioner:
I mean, does he greet her and follow the funeral, and so on?
The Shaykh:
Following funerals in the mosque prayer is fine, but funerals in the cemetery, no, following funerals is forbidden.
The questioner:
Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
Visiting the sick is fine; visiting the sick without any suspicion is fine. Greeting whom? I think I am going back. Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted the women and they greeted him (peace and blessings be upon him) without any close kinship, with a barrier and by keeping away from the causes of close kinship, yes.
