Is it permissible to cease enjoining good and forbidding evil to a half-sister, if that causes insult, verbal abuse, her father to describe me as extremist, and for him to undertake her upbringing?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Enjoining good and forbidding evil is legislated, accompanied by patience in enduring any harm that may befall a person. If the one advising fears harm or if their denunciation leads to a greater corruption, then they have latitude to forgo the denunciation. If advice to the sister is left unspoken, the person does not become a dayyūth. Her guardian is her father, and this should be explained to him gently and respectfully, without offense or excessive elaboration.
