Is weeping over a sick person, if it increases his affliction, prohibited?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We said in the first hadith of Sa'd that it is permissible to weep over a sick person, provided that the weeping does not increase this patient's affliction when he weeps over him?
The Shaykh : It may increase it or it may not; a person cannot control himself in this matter. If you know that it increases his fear and causes the patient to strain himself, then keep it from him.
