Sitting with the People of Evil and the Ability to Leave Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Any self-same thing you have realized, it is ruled that you see the evil while having the ability, so it is not that it is difficult for him to leave the place where the evil occurs, in terms of the gathering,
The Shaykh:
So it is difficult for a person to leave the place if it is a place with a great deal of suspicion involving major sins, eating the flesh of people, and you have advised them but they persisted in the suspicion. It is not permissible for you to remain with them, it is not permissible for you to remain with them, and they have not bound you and closed the door. If they bound you and closed the door, then you have no ability, you are excused. But if it was possible for you to gather and exit, praise be to Allah, this is obligatory upon you, yes.
