Sitting with the One Who Commits Evil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh. Taha Hasan. Listen, is it permissible for a person to sit with his neighbor who commits evil, or is he required to ask him to look into it?
Answer:
In any case, if you are fulfilling your duty by enjoining good and forbidding evil, do not sit with him. However, if you remain silent, do not forbid him, and do not descend upon him, do not sit with him, unless there is a need to be present with him or they are in need of you. This is the practice of the Companions.
