Applying the saying of the Salaf: “Visit infrequently, and you will increase in love”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the Salaf said, “Visit infrequently, and you will increase in love,” or something like that, regarding companions. How is this applied?

Answer:
It is according to one’s ijtihad (independent legal reasoning). Sometimes, even infrequent visits can become boring. However, when a person visits his brothers, he should choose times that do not cause them annoyance or hardship.
