Is it permissible to eat with someone who abandons prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
One should not befriend someone who abandons prayer. Rather, one must keep away from him, except within the bounds of advising him and gently and wisely inviting him to good, reminding him of the gravity of his actions. There is no objection to eating with him if the intention behind it is to invite him to guidance.
