Can we sit with those who do not pray?

Question: 8568

Can
we sit with those who do not pray?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

It is permissible to sit with them in order to advise them and tell them to perform the obligatory prayers in jamaa’ah (congregation), not to relax with them and enjoy chatting to them. Otherwise it is haraam to sit with them.
