Ass'alam Alaikum Wa'Rahmatuallah,
I wanted to ask if someone could help me with a Situation,Inshallah.
My Husband's Family lives in our Home and I have a Brother-In-Law who is unmarried yet is having relations with another Female Muslima via Telephone and Internet and my Husband has confronted him about this,My Husband allows this act to continue in our home because he beleives he has fullfilled his obligation and states that it is none of our Business because he is a Grown Man and that he will be held accountable,ASTAFIRALLAH.
The Question is
Does anyone have Hadith' about this Issue? What I mean is how many times do you tell a Beleiver what they are doing is wrong? And if it is still happening in your Home with you knowledge arent you still held responsible for it?

Wa 'alaykum As-salaam....
Dear sister Amatuallah....
we should never stop in 'amar ma'aruf nahi mungkar' until we die. in the final court at the mashar, when someone is accused for comitting something wrong, he will point to other peoples, telling that nobody told him to stop. even if somebody did tell him to stop 99 times in his life, he would claim that if that person told him 100 times, we would surely stop....
you see, there's no ending in preventing the bad, and inviting good...
Wallahu'alam...

as salam alykom sister
I know I might be a bit late, but better than never,
See Quran say:"
O you who believe! <b>Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones</b>, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded." (Quran 66:6)
The Ayah is very clear and direct commanding us to avoid ourselves and our family members hell. It is a must to keep reminding the brother of what is haram and what is halal even under harsh reactions from him. when was the road of dawa carpeted with flowers. Never, we must endure the hard reactions that may be triggered under such conditions. If your husband knows that this is jihad, he will continue and concurrently makes dua for the brother to improve.
