The ruling on living with and eating with one who abandons most of the prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My wife’s brother lives with us, but he does not pray most of the prayers. We advised him, but it did not help. What is the ruling on eating and drinking with him, and living with me in my house?
Answer:
He should not live with you in your house while he does not pray most of the prayers. It is not permissible for you to live with him. This means you are seeking refuge in a person who does not pray because he is your wife’s brother; this is not permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
