Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Backbiting and lying are frequent in my gatherings during conversation. Is it required of me to respond to everyone who backbites or lies during that gathering? And what is the correct method for forbidding this matter?
Answer:
Yes, this is from what is wrong. Backbiting is from what is wrong, as is talebearing and lying. Advise them. It is obligatory for you to give advice. If they comply and leave this, praise be to Allah. If they do not leave it and do not accept it, do not sit with them. Keep your distance from them so that you do not share in their sin. Yes.
