Sitting with a disobedient brother and eating with him while continuing to advise him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: If the disobedient one is my brother, and I am advising him but he does not respond, and we are in the same house, eating and drinking together, is this like the Children of Israel, who did not care if their companion, the one they ate with, and the one they drank with was [a disbeliever]?
Answer:
You continue to advise him. You are not like the one who does not care whether he is eating or sitting. You sit with him and eat with him while continuing to advise him and persisting in it. The Children of Israel abandoned advising. They abandoned it and did not refrain from sitting with sinners, eating with them, and drinking with them, but you have not abandoned it, praise be to Allah; you have not abandoned advising, you are continuing with it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
