Is it obligatory to advise a neighbor of high morals who prays at the mosque regarding his daughters going out immodestly, without hijab?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

You must advise your neighbor and remind him of his responsibility towards his family and daughters, as Allah Almighty says: "O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones." And according to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "All of you are shepherds and all of you are responsible for your flock." Part of this responsibility is to guide one's family to obedience and to avoid disobedience. A woman's failure to adhere to modest dress is a sin. So, advise your neighbor to fear Allah regarding his daughters and not to let them go out displaying their adornment, otherwise, he is negligent and a betrayer of his flock, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Any servant whom Allah entrusts with a flock, and he dies on the day he dies while he was a betrayer of his flock, Allah will forbid Paradise for him."
