Sitting with people who do not pray
|
Question:
Is it permissible to sit with those people who do not pray?
|
Answer:
It is permissible to sit with them for the purpose of advising them and guiding them to the performance of the obligatory prayers in congregation – and not for the purpose of enjoying oneself by sitting with them and being sociable by chatting with them – otherwise, it is forbidden to sit with them.
And with Allaah is the tawfeeq. And may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and his Companions.
