Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In our village, there is a man addicted to alcohol who does not pray. However, I have a lesson at home after the Fajr prayer for the elderly, and this man comes to us and listens to the remembrance of Allah. He asks: What is your advice to us regarding this? And do we allow him to attend this lesson?
Answer:
Allow him, but hold him between you and yourself and advise him. Tell him: Look, you have a desire for good and you come to the lesson, and you are doing such and such. You must repent to Allah, so that perhaps Allah may save you through you. Yes.
