The ruling on visiting a relative who smokes and allowing him into one's home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh! Should I allow my relative who smokes to smoke in my home, given that I have advised him and he has not responded? And should I allow him to visit me in my home?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
Should I allow my relative who smokes to smoke in my home, given that I have advised him and he has not responded? And should I allow him to visit me in my home?
The Shaykh:
If he insists on smoking, do not give him permission to enter your home, and do not go to his home until he quits smoking. Do not give him permission to enter your home. You can say, "You may enter on the condition that you do not smoke." If he says, "No, I will smoke," tell him, "Do not enter." The home is your home, so no one enters it except with your permission. As for you, do not go to him if he does not quit smoking. If he does not fear Allah or the people, he is one who openly commits sin, and it is not permissible to go to him or sit with him. Yes.
