What is the ruling on living with a person who dislikes the prohibition of cloning, makes light of the names "Abdullah" and "Abdus-Salam" in a book he intends to discard, attempts to downplay the issue of homosexuality, and mocks others when they speak of religious matters like honoring one's parents? And is it obligatory to move out from living with him?
A Muslim should not cohabitate with someone who trivializes religious rulings, denies the sanctity of what is known by necessity to be part of the religion, and downplays the seriousness of some forbidden acts. This is because cohabitating with such individuals carries great harm and multiple dangers, including: repeatedly hearing what is forbidden until one becomes accustomed to it, being influenced by people who sow doubts, the insidious creeping of doubts into the heart, and a weakening of the aspect of loyalty and disavowal for the sake of Allah. The right response to such individuals is hatred for the sake of Allah, not cohabitation or sharing meals.
