Bikur Cholim on Shabbat

Hi,

Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai debate whether (Shabbat 12a) one may visit people who are ill on Shabbat; our practice is to visit, but one should not specifically time his visit for Shabbat, ignoring the ill patient during the week.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 287:1; Mishneh Berurah 287:1)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
