Question:
We associate with people who fall into things that Allah and His Messenger hate, such as those who are negligent about prayer or shaving their beards, such as those. We associate with people who fall into things that Allah and His Messenger hate, such as those who are negligent about prayer, or shave their beards, or let their garments hang below the ankles, or other such open sins. What is our position toward them?

Answer:
The one who is negligent about prayer is more severe than the one who shaves his beard. Shaving the beard is a sin without doubt, it is forbidden, but the one who is negligent about prayer is greater. So if he persists in being negligent about prayer, do not keep his company and do not sit with him after you have advised him; distance yourself from him. As for the one who shaves his beard, make the hadiths reported on this matter clear to him and advise him, perhaps Allah will guide him. And if he does not accept it, distance yourself from him. If he does not accept it, distance yourself from him. Because if you mix with him, it means that you have accepted what he is doing.
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned regarding the Children of Israel that one of them would encounter his brother in sin and advise him, then he would encounter him a second time and advise him, then he would encounter him a third time and remain silent about it, and that did not prevent him from being his dining companion, his sitting companion, and his drinking companion. When Allah saw that from them, He struck the hearts of some of them against others and cursed them on the tongues of their prophets. Allah the Exalted said: They do not restrain themselves from what they do of evil. So if the sinner persists in his sin and does not accept your advice, do not sit with him; distance yourself from him except in cases of dire necessity. Do not sit with him except in cases of dire necessity, while hating what he is doing.
