Shaykh: It is not permissible. (meaning of the ayah in English): "Then after the remembrance sit not you in the company of those people who are the Zālimūn (polytheists and wrong-doers)." [Surah Al-An'am: 68] السائل : نقاطعهم Questioner: Do we cut them off? الشيخ : آه لكنك إذا حضرت وأنكرت ثم انصرفت تكون جمعت بين تحقيق المصلحة ودفع المفسدة. Sheikh: However, if you attend and forbid (the munkar), then leave, you would have combined between carrying out the good and preventing the evil. السائل : وإذا لم نستطع لا نحضر؟ Questioner: And if we are not able to (do that), we shouldn't attend? الشيخ : نعم. Sheikh: Yes.
