Asalamalaykum HajjIbrahimIslam
This is great advice mashaAllah.
Recently one sister we know lost her 2 year old daughter. I was really shocked to hear about it, felt deeply saddened, especially when I have seen the little girl so healthy and playing and jumping around with my little sisters just 5 days ago when they visited our home and now she'sgone. Ina LiLahi wa ina ILahai Ra'ja'uun.
I haven't yet visited her, but my family visited them, while I was looking after the little ones, am I wrong for not having visited the family? I am a very emotional person, I didn't want to be around the mother I would just add more sorrow.
But still, even if I would have wanted to go, little chances did I have, I had to look after the little children while everyone else went. I was fine, up until a sister i know told me that it doesn't matter whether my family visited or not, I should have visited too. So now I feel guilty.
Jezekelah khayr for the reminder
