Guiding a blind person and leading them to their home is an act of charity () and a relief of distress, in accordance with the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "Whoever relieves a believer of a worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of a distress on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever makes things easy for a person in financial difficulty, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and the Hereafter."
