The Ruling on Greeting One Who Abandons Prayer and the Open Sinner
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And the scholars. In a limit, he asks me for your opinion? May Allah reward you. You appear, my dear. He says: I hope to define the greeting to. For our quick history of those present.
The Shaykh:
The one who does not pray, do not greet him. If you know that a person does not pray, this is boycotted; because he is an apostate, do not greet him, he deserves to be boycotted, do not greet him, and do not return his greeting, do not send him gifts and do not return his, until Allah guides him. Advise him, and direct him to good. Indeed, it became obligatory for the state to kill him,
Another questioner:
With respect to it, perhaps it has turned among the Muslims.
The Shaykh:
He displays drinking intoxicants among people, among his quarter in the house or among his companions, or secretly in the grave, or with fornication or sodomy. He deserves to be boycotted and testimony to be established against him if he does not desist, until the limit of Allah is established against him, so that he does not display corruption on earth. If Allah guides him through calling, advice, and boycotting, praise be to Allah. And if Allah does not guide him, he is referred to the authorities so that they establish the legal limit that deters him from the corruption he has displayed openly. Likewise, the one who is undutiful to his parents, who is undutiful to his parents or testifies falsely. If it is known, it is obligatory for the authorities to discipline him until he returns from the falsehood, until he abandons false testimony, until he does not treat his parents with undutifulness. And likewise, the one who deals in riba (usury or interest), and strives with riba, and does not care. He deserves to be punished until he turns away from riba.
The questioner:
The seventh, with respect to the administrations, there are mixed people in them, one dress, you do not know the Muslim from the disbeliever? What is the solution with respect to the greeting?
The Shaykh:
May Allah guide everyone. In any case, the Muslim strives in good. If he finds such a thing, he refers it to the committees in the court. Some scholars say to them: I saw such and such and I saw such and such. So we hope that you will make it difficult and Allah will benefit you, or you look into their matter. He does not remain silent. He hastens to good, he rushes to good, he participates in good,
Another questioner:
What is the matter with the greeting, how do we act? What is the matter with the greeting
The Shaykh:
From the greeting, "Peace be upon you," and he has women, from the greeting, "Peace be upon you," and whoever greets, he greets. And if it is a difference in silver, ugly, meaning the men differ among the men, he rebukes him for it. But if it is silver from the silver in the public markets with covering, that does not harm. And if it is silver in the mosques, the rows behind the men, and the men in front of them, there is no harm. If they are covered, they used to pray with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). This arrangement does not harm. The arrangement that harms is the arrangement with seclusion, or the arrangement with exposure, and touching the man, or with displaying adornment and rebellion. This is the error that is rebuked and prevented, and the one who does it is advised and directed to good.
