Shmuel asks:
Is the Halacha to sit on the floor when visiting the sick? Haven' seen it done.
Shmuel, Monsey, NY
The Kollel replies:
Dear Shmuel,
The Halacha is still true now. The Halacha is not to sit higher than the bed of the sick- so if the sick is lying on the floor then the visitor sits on the floor. Yoreh Deah 335:3 in the Rama, also brought by the Chafetz Chaim in Ahavas Chesed section3 chapter 3.
All the best,
Reuven Weiner
