Telephone contact is a form of maintaining family ties
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the telephone sufficient for contacting relatives, without going to visit them? I have an excuse: my mother lives with me, she is elderly, and it is difficult for me to leave her alone in the house?
Answer:
Yes, it is sufficient. You call them on the telephone, ask about their condition, and send them what they need, if you have an excuse and they are in need. This is sufficient. It is not obligatory for the man to go in person if that is not feasible. Correspondence, a telegram, or the telephone takes the place of visiting on foot if that is not feasible.
