Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Umm 'Umar from Riyadh says: What are the rules of patience at the first moment of a calamity?
The Shaykh:
Patience is restraining the self from distress. It is restraining the hand from slapping, slapping the cheeks, and tearing the clothes. This is patience in the face of calamities. Yes.
The questioner:
She says, may Allah bless you: If a woman loses her patience and laments, slaps herself, and does the like, does this affect the deceased?
The Shaykh:
The deceased is harmed by it. The deceased is harmed by what the living relatives do, such as lamenting and wailing, and is harmed by this. Yes.
