I know a female Muslim that asked me to come with her and her older sister in their car to go somewhere. However I told them it isn’t right thing to do. She tells me oh you are Salafi. She tells me I am Salafi because I tell her it is haram to travel with a man that is non mahram. She keeps saying I am Salafi, like I am too strict or something ….
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful & Compassionate
From a previous question answered by Sidi Faraz Rabbani:
Sayyidi Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi points out that this is a key lesson from the way of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) in correcting others: you stick to the issues, in as positive and indirect a way as possible, rather than the person themselves; you do so seeking good and benefit for them, not merely out of a desire to condemn; and you correct them in a way that is likely to inspire them to the good. The good is only good when done in a good way. [Nabulsi, al-Hadiqa al-Nadiyya Sharh al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiyya]
