Living with Household Members Who Abandon Prayer and Dutifulness to Parents
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from Tunisia says: I live in a house where some of its members abandon the prayer and persist in sins, and I do not feel at ease there, but I am patient for the sake of my father and my mother. What is your advice to me regarding this?
Answer:
There is no conflict between your dutifulness to your father and mother and the fact that you live in a separate house. So, live in a separate house and distance yourself from the house of these people, while maintaining dutifulness and kindness toward your father and mother. Does this conflict with that?
