Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says:
The Shaykh:
May Allah greet you.
The questioner:
I have female relatives who expose their limbs and wear tight clothing. I have female relatives who expose their limbs and wear tight clothing, and I advise them, but they do not take heed, and it is as if I am blowing on ashes. So, is it obligatory for me to reform them, knowing that
The Shaykh:
we warn against it.
The questioner:
Or no, no.
The Shaykh:
and be strict with them, or should I boycott them.
The questioner:
More. With, with Allah.
The Shaykh:
I am harmed by them, should I not be harmed by them.
The questioner:
I am reforming them with Allah, for they harm me with their display of adornment and exposure. Please advise me, may Allah reward you?
The Shaykh:
Be patient, my brother. Be patient with the call and the advice. These are your close relatives, sisters, aunts, or maternal aunts. Advise them, and do not despair until they reform, if Allah wills. Seek help from Allah, then from those closest to you, such as their husbands or their fathers, so that they may direct them to good, to abandoning the display of adornment and abandoning what is not permissible. Do not despair, do not despair, and do not lose hope. You must be patient. Yes.
