through a brother: Ya Ikhwan, I have a very important message for my brothers in London. Please do not ignore this as it has been confirmed by a reliable brother. I am personally going to go, so if anyone wants to go with me, please let me know. To any sisters reading this, please urge your husbands and brothers to go too. A brother in hospital is suffering from terminal cancer and he only has a few days to live. His family have stated that no brother has been to visit him. Not one single brother. We have been urged to make dua for him. His family were in tears because nobody has been to visit him ever since he was admitted into hospital. This is wrong as he has rights upon us and one of these rights is that we visit him. His wife has five children and she takes care of them by herself, with no help. The least we can do is aid him by visiting him and giving him company during his last days, InshaAllah. In fact, visiting the sick is a communal obligation. Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen said: Visiting the sick is a fard kifaayah (communal obligation). (Majmoo‘ Fataawa wa Rasaa’il Ibn ‘Uthaymeen, 13/1085) His name is Abdul Wahid and he is hospitalised at Charring Cross Hospital (Hammersmith). 10th floor and the South Wing Ward - E bay. The visiting times are 2pm-8pm. Just being there for five minutes is nothing for us, but it could mean everything to him and his family. Imagine the reward you receive from Allah Azzawajal. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: Every Muslim has five rights over another Muslim: 1) To Return The Greetings 2) To Visit The Sick 3) To Attend The Janazah 4) To Accept An Invitation 5) To Respond To The Sneezer (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Whoever visits a sick person or visits a brother in Islam, a caller cries out to him: ‘May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you occupy a dignified position in Paradise’.” (Classed as hasan by Sheikh al-Albani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi) Visiting the sick does not involve only those whom you know, rather it is prescribed for those whom you know and those whom you do not know. This was stated by al-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim.
