Is it obligatory to sit with neighbors who do not pray, and whose gatherings sometimes involve backbiting?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Being kind to one's neighbor is obligatory, and it is not required to sit with him. A neighbor committing sins, such as backbiting or neglecting prayer, does not negate his rights. However, it is not permissible to sit with him while he is committing a sin. Rather, he should be advised with wisdom and good admonition.
