Dealing with people firmly to preserve dignity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner has a long question. He says: I am a young man who is sometimes insulted by some people, where they order me to do some permissible things, knowing that they do not order me to do them except out of their disregard for me. His question is: Should I deal with people with severity in order to preserve my dignity, because people today do not respect anyone except one who is severe and strong, or what should I do? May Allah grant you success?
Answer:
There is no need for severity. Say no. If you pass by, say no. You cannot bear it. What is required of you is nothing else? Yes.
