The Ties of Kinship with One Who Abandons Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If a man has a brother who abandons prayer, is it obligatory for him to maintain ties with him? And does he sin if he severs those ties?
Answer:
If he is in need of financial support, he should support him and advise him, not remaining silent. He should continue advising him, perhaps Allah will guide him. As for if he is not in need of support, he should leave him alone if that serves as a deterrent for him; in that case, he should sever ties with him. But if everyone else maintains ties with him and he does not, and he is in need, then he should maintain ties with him to the extent of his need. Yes.
