Assisting a Patient from Non-Mahram

Question
Is it permissible for me to help my husband in caring for his sick uncle, by assisting him in lifting him from the bed and supporting him in walking; because he lives in our house, and my husband is his only relative?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is permissible for him to assist him if there is a need for that, and he will have great reward for it, provided that it does not lead to fitnah (temptation or discord). And God knows best.
