The basis of the Qur’anic discourse is that any religious ruling or opinion should be accompanied with evidences. A language should be used that attracts people and does not offend unbelievers. This is the basis for the comment on a fatwa issued by the Permanent Committee for Scientific Researches and Fatwas to the effect that presenting flowers to patients is haram because this is the custom of people in the countries of kufr.
