I have a problem with my neighborhood friends – they always talk about girls, voice chats, and cameras, while I don't do that and I advise them but they just laugh. My school friends are different from them; those who look at girls don't like me, while my pious friends like me and I like them. Should I leave these friends who do not fear Allah?

All praise is due to Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. You must avoid sitting with young men who converse with women, and be sure to accompany the pious. For a person is influenced by those he accompanies, as stated in the that a person is on the religion of his intimate friend. It is advisable to communicate individually with former colleagues and offer them advice with wisdom, and to seek the help of righteous friends in inviting them to goodness and keeping them away from deviation. For guiding one person through your hands is better than red camels.
