Question:
Muhammad from al-Khabar, please, Muhammad. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. May Allah reward you. My question is: Does the one who continues to sit with the people of evil deeds while they are committing the evil, after he has advised them and they did not stop, take on the same sin as their act of committing the evil, or does he only sin by the act of sitting?
Answer:
He incurs their sin and the sin of sitting with them. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) forbade us from sitting with those who have this description. He, the Exalted, said:[Al-An'am 6:68] Therefore, it is not permissible to sit with the companions of sins who are committing them in their gathering, even if he has forbidden them from doing so. If they do not comply, he should avoid them and stay away from them so that he does not incur the sin that befalls them. Yes.

And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.
وَإِمَّا يُنسِيَنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ بَعْدَ الذِّكْرَىٰ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ
