Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: A brother of mine does not pray, and I called him to pray, but he does not pray. What is your opinion? Should he be treated as a Muslim or as a disbeliever?
Answer:
If this person you have does not have the ability to live independently and take care of himself, you must keep him out of respect and continue calling him to prayer, enjoining prayer, and establishing it. So be patient with the hardship and do not lie or despair. Allah the Exalted said:[Taha 20:132] with hardship and a branch. But if this person is independent and lives for himself, you must expel him. Expel him from your house and from your belongings, and he should not remain with you in this state, may Allah protect us from it. He is fed and treated and fed, yet he does not pray, and he is not in Makkah. You must keep him away from you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
