Friends

[Woodrow]

If your friend is doing something bad, is it your responsibility to tell her/his parents before something happens.

If you know a friend is doing something sinful and you do not do all you can to stop them, that can be seen you are approving of what they are doing.

 

[Hamza Asadullah]

If you know a friend is doing something sinful and you do not do all you can to stop them, that can be seen you are approving of what they are doing.

very good point brother. In regards to enjoining of good and forbidding evil Allah the Most High said:

Let there be among you a community who enjoin good and forbid evil; it is they that shall be successful, [3:104]

You are the best community that has ever been brought forth for mankind: you enjoin good and forbid evil, and you believe in God, [3:110]

Those who repent, those who worship, those who praise, those who persevere, those who bow down, those who prostrate, and those who enjoin good and forbid evil, [9:112]

Those of the Israelites who were unbelievers have already been cursed on the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary, for they were disobedient, and transgressed. They did not forbid one another from committing the evil that they wrought. What they used to do was foul indeed. [5:79]

According to hadith:

Muslim relates on the authority of Abu Sa`id (radhiallahu `anhu) that the Prophet sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "Whoever sees something evil should change it with his hand. If he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot do even that, then in his heart. That is the weakest degree of faith."

Finally:

`Umar ibn `Abdul `Aziz(radhiallahu `anhu)) said, "It used to be that Allah the Most High does not punish the common people for the sins of the elite; but when the evil is done openly, and they do not repudiate it, they all become deserving of His punishment."

May Allah give us all the ability to enjoin good and forbid evil. Ameen
