The Ruling on Returning the Greeting to One Who Abandons Prayer While Knowing Its Ruling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The one who abandons prayer and knows that abandoning it is disbelief: Is it permissible for me to return his greeting? I have already advised him many times.
Answer:
It is prescribed to boycott him; what is prescribed is to boycott him. Some scholars said: It is obligatory to boycott him until he repents. If you continue to advise him because you hope for his guidance, there is no blame on you, provided there is no socializing or friendliness, but rather with advice. You should contact him, warn him of Allah, call him to establish prayer, and caution him against the consequences of his bad deeds, perhaps Allah will guide him. And cooperate with your brothers in advising him, whether they are relatives or others. Cooperation with good brothers in this matter is something through which Allah brings benefit. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
