بســـم اللــه الرحــمــن الـرحـــيــم
▪️If my parents become ill and request to stay at home rather than be taken to the hospital, should I fulfil their request?▪️
Our Shaykh, Muḥammad ibn Ḥizām -may Allāh preserve him- was asked the following question:
📩 Question:
With the cases of Corona in the UK on the increase, and the subsequent effects on the elderly; (being quarantined from relatives in the hospital and other than that) some parents request from their children in the event of becoming ill that they should not take them to the hospital, but rather to keep them at home; to regain their health or spend their last moments in the company of their loved ones. Is it binding upon the children to fulfill this request despite the hospital possibly being better for the health of the parents, and the chances of being cured greater? Are they sinful if they take them to the hospital? We request a supplication for the elderly Muslims, may Allāh reward you with good.
📝 Answer:
I ask Allāh, the Greatest, Lord of the Great Throne, The Ever-living, The Self-sufficient Sustainer, The possessor of Majesty and Honour to be merciful to the Muslims and to alleviate this pandemic.
I ask Allāh to be merciful to the Muslims, both their young and elderly, and to alleviate this pandemic.
I ask Allāh to be merciful to the Muslims and to alleviate this pandemic.
If there is genuine hope of a cure - by the permission of Allāh -, then they should take them to the hospital. If it is unlikely however that they will benefit, then they should not subject them to humiliation; i.e. possibility of not being buried or prayed upon. So in this case, It is better for them to remain at home. We ask Allāh to be gracious to the Muslims.
