Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My son is twenty-five years old. He was a beginner student of knowledge, then he abandoned knowledge and went to work, then he shaved his beard and started smoking. So I expelled him from the house and boycotted him. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Yes, if he is able to be independent and live on his own, and he does not heed the advice, expel him. But if he is not able to live on his own, he may be lost further and become more corrupt, so you keep him in your house, monitor him, advise him, and continue advising him, and do not despair of guidance, with Allah’s permission. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
