Ruling on eating with one who does not pray
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among his questions, he says: There are some people who perform the prayer, and at the same time they abandon the prayer. I am forced to eat with them. Is it permissible for us to eat with those who do not perform the prayer? Or those who abandon the prayer?
Answer:
If the need calls for it, along with advising them; if they do not accept, then boycott them and do not eat with them. But if dire necessity calls for eating with them, be an advisor to them, guiding them to good, warning them against abandoning the prayer, and making it clear to them that whoever abandons it commits disbelief, so that perhaps Allah will guide them through your means. If they do not respond, then boycott them, do not sit with them, and do not eat with them. We ask Allah for well-being. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
