Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, what is the wisdom in seeking refuge from being returned to old age, especially since the longer a person lives and the better his deeds, the better he becomes?
Answer:
The wisdom in that, and Allah knows best, is that it is difficult for people and for himself as well. Being returned to old age, crawling, it is difficult for people to take him and bring him back to relieve himself, perform wudu', and so on. It is difficult for his family and difficult for himself as well.
