The Ruling on Forbidding Evil in Homes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Where Abu Dhabya is, Allah does not look upon one who visits him with arrogance.
The Shaykh:
This means it serves as a warning against arrogance. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah bless you. A man was in one of the buildings, in one of the apartments, meaning in a place with a radio or television playing at a high volume. He knocked on the door, and a woman answered. The owner of the house was not present, so he ordered her to turn it off, on the basis that she is one of the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), to turn off the radio, and so on. This is enjoining good and forbidding evil through the door.
The Shaykh:
That she lower the volume of the device.
The questioner:
The apartments. May Allah bless you. He was in one of the buildings and found an apartment with a television or radio playing songs. So he knocked on the door and advised the woman.
The Shaykh:
He is not afraid. Well, there is nothing wrong with this; it is ignorance from the perspective of forbidding evil.
