What is the ruling regarding the fiancé of one's sister who flirts with women while he is praying, and has been advised many times?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The questioner should advise his friend that flirting with women is dangerous to his religion and character, citing the hadith: "I have not left behind me a trial more harmful to men than women," and the words of scholars regarding the prohibition of speaking to a young foreign woman without need, because it is a source of temptation. He must not underestimate these sins, for evil deeds invalidate good deeds, as stated in the verse: "O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds." If the friend repents, then his marriage to the sister is permissible; otherwise, he should not be recommended.
