Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
It is not necessary for visiting the sick (ʿiyadah) that the patient must be suffering from a severe illness in order for one to go and visit him. Rather, even if someone is afflicted with a common ailment, visiting the sick (bimar pursee) is a very good deed.
