Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I have a relative who hangs two pictures of his father and his grandfather, who are among the dead, in his sitting room. When I rebuke him for it, he does not heed my words. Should I boycott him and not enter his house?
Answer:
If boycotting him will deter him and cause him to remove the pictures, then boycott him. But if it will not deter him, continue advising him and rebuking him. Yes.
