Nawawi_58_Socializing, page : 2
NOTES
Imam Nawawi said: "Be aware that socializing with people in the
way I mentioned is the chosen behavior of the Messenger of Allah,
praise and peace be upon him, and all the Prophets, the guided
Caliphs, those Companions who came after them, their companions,
knowledgeable Muslims and the elite. It is also the doctrine of most
of the third generation with which Imams Shaf'i, Ahmad and most
jurists, may Allah be pleased with them, inclined."
Attending the Eid Festivals, and the Circles of the Remembrance of
Allah, visiting the sick, attending funerals, and sympathizing with the
needy; guiding the ignorant and serving them etc., is to be practiced
by those who are capable, honoring the good and prohibiting evil, so
long as they stop themselves from harming others and are patient
when they are harmed.
