The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, if I have an uncle who has lost his mind, is it obligatory for me to visit him if he does not benefit from the visit and does not know who I am?
The Shaykh : Yes, if he is your uncle and he is not of sound mind, visit him so that you can check on his well-being. It is not a condition that he knows you or recognizes you, but visit him to ensure his well-being and so that his relatives know that you are maintaining your family ties. Yes.
The questioner : A second question.
The Shaykh : My second question, after what is going on with the group, yes.
