How to Advise a Father Afflicted by Intoxicants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And this questioner says: His father, may we seek refuge in Allah, consumes intoxicants. What is your guidance regarding advising him? How should he advise him?
Answer:
You must advise him with kind words and a good manner. Seek out your good neighbors and relatives whom he respects and values, and ask them to advise him with you and help you in advising him. Never despair. Be glad of good, if Allah wills, but with kind words and a good manner. Seek out your good neighbors and brothers who can help you in advising him; they can go to him alone and advise him.
