Asalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Baraktatuhu brothers and sisters..
Recently, I've been having conflicts with deciding how to face this situation: Associating with Pagans. I have a group of 9 friends who are all very close with each other. Six of us are Muslim Mash'Allah- and we have a friend who is Hindu. We all respect everyones boundaries, religion and culture. But people have been coming to me and telling me it is Haraam to associate with pagans and people who believe in many gods. I realize it might be haram to go to their house and eat their food etc. And in the past, going to her house for parties hs been avoided by having a surprise party during lunch and so on. Is it exactly haram to be friends with her? To borrow books from her?
But we hope Insha'Allah- that in a group with 6 Muslims, influence will rub off on our other dear friends.
So- any advice? JazakAllah Khayran.
Salam
