The answer

The questioner is advised to avoid befriending a man who denies the torment of the grave and the Isra and Mi'raj (Night Journey and Ascension), as this involves denying textual religious proofs. He also believes that intentionally missing congregational prayers is a grave sin, and that disliking Arab Muslims and defending Jews is evidence of a weak sense of al-wala' wa al-bara' (loyalty and disavowal). The questioner is advised to be cautious of this man, try to guide him, seek help from preachers and scholars in this regard, and remind him of the virtue of guiding people.
