Living with people who commit forbidden acts in the house

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner from the UAE who says: By the grace of Allah, I am a righteous young man, and I live with my wife at my parents' home. My family engages in some forbidden acts, such as watching films that contain forbidden content, music, and naked women. My brothers and my father pray at home, and I disapprove of what I am able to disapprove of, gently, but few of them heed me. I fear for my wife while I am staying with them, so what is your advice to me?

Answer:
It is not permissible for you to stay with them while they are in this state. Do not stay with them. You may visit them and greet them; there is nothing wrong with that. You may advise them; there is nothing wrong with that. But staying with them while they are in this state is not permissible for you, because there is a fear that you and your wife will be affected by it. The least thing to be feared in this is that you will abandon forbidding what is wrong. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
