Question:
Some people, when you forbid them, they increase in it. For example, if you are on the phone and they increase the volume, or if they start smoking, they blow the smoke in your face?
Answer:
You should pray for their guidance. Some people are foolish, and forbidding them only makes things worse for them. However, the believer should be more sensible than them; he should be patient and forbearing, and say, “May Allah guide you, and may Allah protect you from Satan,” so that he is better than them.
