Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a young man who desires to be upright in the religion of Allah, but I suffer from some friends who smoke and play cards. What do you advise me?
Answer:
Do not keep their company. Keep the company of others who do not have any of these matters. If you keep the company of a group, keep the company of the best of them, and do not keep the company of the worst, lest you be dragged down with the worst.
