I have a Muslim friend who is leading the wrong way in life, how can I help him?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

We live in England. My friend has been drinking alcohol, dating girls and going to clubs to dance over the last few years. I want to help him leave this life behind, understand what he is doing will not help him succeed and become a good Muslim. How is the best way to do this as I have tried to explain simply what the harm is but its not working on him. Please advise. Thank you so much.

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.
