He Lives in His Brother's Home, Which is Replete with Evil
Question :
I am a married person, living with my mother, older brother, his wife, and my sister. My brother doesn't pray, and our house is replete with happenings and things that go against the Shari'ah. Films, music, pictures of his children on the wall, and other things go on in this house. I advised my brother without effect. I am able all praise is Allah's to leave, so should 1? And is it allowed for my mother to remain with him or should she come with me as well? I beseech you to instruct and explain the Shari'ah ruling in this regard.
Answer:
If you are not able to rectify the situation and stop the evils then it is obligatory for you to move out as long as you are able to do that. It is also obligatory for your mother to leave with you because one is not allowed to remain with an evildoer if one is capable of leaving.
