Adult granddaughter massaging her grandfather

· 13 Muharram 1442 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can an adult granddaughter (daughter of son), massage her grandfather to relieve the pain?

Answer

It is better that the sons or grandsons do this work. Sometimes, there can be subtle sensual feelings which can thereafter complicate matters in the nikaah etc.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
