Housing a brother who does not pray with his family
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: We have a brother on our father’s side who does not pray. He holds a grudge against us over some of our actions, and he has no money. He wants to live with us in our house. Should we let him live with us? Especially since we know for certain that he hates us and holds a grudge against us.
Answer:
If he has nothing, rent him an apartment, a room, or whatever is available. Rent him a place to live, but do not let him live with you. He does not pray, and his presence among you brings sin upon you. He does not pray, and your children may imitate him. So keep him away from you and rent him a place to live. Yes.
