Rebuking the many smokers on the road
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, on my way I encounter people who are smoking, and there are many of them smoking in front of me. Is it obligatory for me to rebuke them all?
The Shaykh:
Knowing that
The questioner:
it is difficult for him.
The Shaykh:
If it is difficult for you, Allah has not burdened you with this. Do you want to stop every single one of them and say something? But if you hope that they will accept it, or if the smokers are not a large number, just one or two, then that is good. But if there are many smokers, that will not accomplish anything. That will not accomplish anything. Yes.
