The Impact of Good Company on the Life of the Pilgrim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Abu 'Adil asks about good company and its impact on the life of the pilgrim. How do you view this?
Answer:
There is no doubt that sitting with the righteous and accompanying them on a journey, especially during Hajj, has a great impact on those who sit with them and travel with them. So the pilgrim should choose a good company from which he benefits and which keeps his worship and his Hajj free from negative influences. The poet says: If you keep company with a people, keep company with the best of them, and do not keep company with the earth so that you fall with the fallen. And another says: Do not ask about a man, but ask about his companion, for every companion imitates the one he is with.
