Peace upon the sinner who openly commits his sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: It is mentioned in *Al-Adab al-Mufrad* to the effect that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a group of people, one of whom was a sinner, and he turned away from him and did not greet him with the salam. Does this imply that one should not greet certain sinners with the salam if they are openly committing their sin?
Answer:
Yes. Ahm. This falls under enjoining good and forbidding evil: the one who openly commits sin is to be boycotted, and boycotting him means not greeting him with the salam until he desists.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
