Q 4: Is it permissible for me to live with my brothers who do not offer Salah (Prayer), smoke tobacco, listen to songs and watch obscene movies and serials. If I advise them or talk to them about the religious matters, such as the obligation of performing Salah and other kinds of worship, they laugh at me and mock my friends calling them the most heinous names. Futile were my father's efforts and mine to bring them to their senses as if
...upon whose hearts Allâh has set a seal.
There is no hope whatsoever in advising them. What should I do with them? What advice do you give me to abide by in this regard? May Allah keep you safe. Only Allah is the One Who provides success and He is the One Who guides to the right path. I entrust you to the care of Allah, for those who are under His care will never be lost.
A:
It is impermissible for you to live with such brothers of yours who
openly commit sins, but you should try hard to advise them so that Allah may make you a cause for their guidance.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
