Question:
He says: A relative of mine does not pray, and I have advised him, but he did not respond. He says: Should I speak to him, or is it obligatory for me to boycott him?
Answer:
As mentioned previously, if the boycott deters him, then boycott him. But if the boycott does not benefit him and rather increases his evil, then you do not boycott him; rather, you continue advising him and calling him to Allah, so that perhaps Allah may guide him. Yes.
Question:
Honorable Shaykh.
Answer:
The reward is done at the public benefit, yes.
