Boycotting a relative who smokes after being advised
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have a relative who smokes. If I advise him and he does not respond, should I boycott him, or what should I do? Especially since he smokes in my home as well?
Answer:
The scholars mentioned that if boycotting a sinner deters him, then he is to be boycotted until he repents. However, if boycotting him does not deter him and he persists in the sin, then advising him is sufficient. It is sufficient that you advise him and repeat the advice to him, perhaps Allah will guide him. Yes.
