Ordering the Rafidi to Pray and Dealing with Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to advise a Rafidi in his work, for example, if he does not respond and says, "I do not care about these matters," and you report him to the authority, and then the time for prayer comes and he does not pray? Is he to be ordered to pray, or is he to be left alone and dealt with as a disbeliever?
The Shaykh:
Since he claims Islam, he is to be ordered to pray.
The questioner:
If he does not pray, do we order him to pray or not?
The Shaykh:
He must be hated for the sake of Allah and rebuked in the presence of the authority.
The questioner:
He did not accept the advice regarding the prayer.
The Shaykh:
He is to be ordered to pray; he sits, prays, and attends. If he abandons it, he deserves to be placed under restriction.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
