How do we deal with a young man who lives with us and breaks his fast in Ramadan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Well, there is a young man with us who is not fasting in the residence where we live. Is it permissible for us, for example, to talk to him or keep him with us?
The Shaykh : The issue is, do you have the authority to keep him with you?
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : How do you mean?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : How do you mean?
The questioner : I mean, suppose I am the one who rented the residence.
The Shaykh : We do not want to deal with hypotheticals; we barely have time to help us deal with realities.
The questioner : Okay, Shaykh, may Allah reward you. I am the one who rented the residence.
The Shaykh : So do not tell me hypotheticals.
The questioner : Okay, I am the one who rented the residence, and naturally, if Allah wills, it is the residence I want.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : So is it permissible for me to keep him?
The Shaykh : Did you advise him?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he did not accept the advice.
The questioner : And he did not accept the advice.
The Shaykh : Expel him.
