Encouraging the Visiting of Brothers Even If They Have Cut Off Contact
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I have a neighbor in the residence, and I do not cut off visiting him; rather, he has not visited me at all. So how do you direct me?
Answer:
You have done what is good, you have done kindness, and you have done well, and praise be to Allah. If you invite him to visit and show him affection, mutual visiting will take place. Mutual visiting between brothers is good. And if you visit him and he does not visit you, you gain the reward. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: If the visit involves benefit, religion, and good, that is fine. But if the visit leads to evil and attending to what is wrong, then it is not permissible for you. However, if the visit is for the sake of Allah, in the way of Allah, with love and companionship, and contains no evil, then you gain the reward. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
