Now what should i do in this situation. Should i try to avoid him or should i do something.
Islamic Ruling & Answer
VerifiedAccording to the situation you described, since you have already advised him several times and he still isnโt stopping, you are not required to keep correcting him again and again. You have fulfilled your duty of giving advice.
In this case, it is better to reduce unnecessary interaction and conversations with him, but do not completely cut off the relationship because he is your close family member. Through your behavior and attitude, gently make him realize, and keep praying for him that Allah guides him.
In short, neither support his actions nor completely cut him off; instead, deal with him in a balanced and moderate way.
