Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: If my father approves of my mother and my sisters mixing with non-mahrams, and approves of their not covering as required, what is my position in this if advising them does not help?
Answer:
You have no choice but to advise. You must continue advising and warning, perhaps Allah will guide them. As for if you are able to prevent your sisters, you must prevent them. If you are able to prevent them from mixing, it is obligatory for you. If you are not able to prevent them, the duty of advising, enjoining good and forbidding evil does not fall off you, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 49a Sunan an-Nasa'i 5008Sahih (Darussalam) So it is necessary to forbid evil with your sisters and others, and it is according to your ability, [Al-Baqarah 2:286].

He who amongst you sees
من رأى منكم منكرا فليlet him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; if he cannot, then with his heart- and that is the weakest of Faith.
يغيره بيده، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه، وذلك أضعف الإيمان،Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity
