Question:
A questioner says: Is it obligatory for the Muslim in the time of trials to isolate himself from people and not mix with them?
Answer:
This varies depending on the people. If his mixing with people is for the purpose of calling to Allah and warning against the trials, then there is a religious benefit in his mixing with them, so let him mix with people. But if he is unable to do so, unable to explain, and does not have the knowledge to clarify things for people, he should isolate himself and not mix with people during the time of trials. Yes.
