Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if my neighbor does not pray and he has some wrongdoings, and I advised him the first time, is that sufficient and am I excused before Allah?
Answer:
If you advised him and he did not accept, you have fulfilled what is required of you. However, you must report him to the centers of the religious police. If he is fighting against the wrong, or if he is harming his neighbors with the sounds of singing and flutes, these are wrongdoings and a nuisance to people. The people of the religious police and the centers of the religious police should be informed about him so that he is punished and prevented from displaying the wrongdoings.
