The Ruling on Sitting with the Companions of Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second questioner says: I am an employee, and some of my colleagues, may Allah guide them, are exposed to you and you have influenced them through that. I was at a party, but without sitting with them or agreeing with them, and I had an effect at the party and did not sit with them.
Answer:
If there is hope in your sitting with them for their guidance and for giving them advice, that is a good thing. But if your sitting with them is for the sake of their company and you do not condition it on rebuking them, then you should not sit with them. That is, if you merely sit with them without rebuking them, without softening their hearts, and without calling them to the truth, and you are just at ease with them while they remain in that state, that is not permissible.
