Condemning smokers in the university and the markets
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Sometimes in the university and in the markets, I see many young men smoking, and I am unable to condemn them. He asks: What is obligatory for me in that case?
Answer:
If I see someone committing a violation by smoking or otherwise, I advise him. If he accepts, praise be to Allah. If not, you have fulfilled what is required of you. You should also report him if reporting him is beneficial. Report him to the university director, the dean of the college, or the supervisors in the college. Yes.
