Question:
Some people, in rest areas and in gatherings, do not scrupulously avoid excessive idle chatter, excessive talk, and excessive joking, whether it is true or false. What is the guidance for them, may you be rewarded?
Answer:
The answer: The guidance is that they should not forget the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in their gatherings, and when they intend to leave, they should perform the expiation for the gathering: “Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk.”
