Question:
May Allah reward you with good. If those sins and those wrongdoings contributed to his financial distress, Shaykh Salih, do you have any guidance for us? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
If he has repented from these sins and these transgressions and turned back to Allah, then he is to be helped and supported. But if he will continue in them and use what is given to him to help him practice these sins and persist in them, then he is not to be helped, as we mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:2]. Yes.
