Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I have relatives who are known for drinking intoxicants and other harms. If I maintain ties with them, I fear for myself from their evil. He asks: What should I do regarding maintaining these ties?
The Shaykh:
Maintaining ties.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
If you have hope that they will repent and that they will accept your advice, do not cut ties with them; maintain ties with them, advise them, and stay with them, perhaps Allah will guide them. But if they do not accept and there is no hope, then stay away from them. Yes.
