Q: I have a few relatives. They are born and brought up in a Muslim family like us. However at present, they have converted into La Madhabi theology like Dr. Zakir Naik, Ahmad Deedat, etc. by refusing madhab theory.
My question is how do I maintain my relationship with them? Are we allowed/permitted to share non-veg food with them? Can we consume chicken or other non-veg whenever they invite us over for a meal? Are we allowed to perform Salat and Janaza together with them? While reading Namaz under our Imaam they pronounce aameen loudly after the Alhamdu….? Will it affect our namaz in anyway?
A: I suggest that don’t ever discuss any matter of deen with them. You may show some generosity, but just confine it to your generosity and nothing beyond that.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
