Fatwa #221514 February 2001United Kingdom

My brother is engaged, but still keeps a girlfriend. I am worried about his situation. What can I do?

Answer

There are two aspects here:
One is I'elaam (to inform) and the other is I'emaal (to make others
practice). Informing is merely a means of making others practice. The
purpose (to make others practice) should be placed first and then wisdom
should be applied in trying to achieve the purpose.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
