Question

The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

I read 5-times a day and have friends who drink alcohol and smoke drugs such as dope. They know they are doing wrong, what should I do?, Should I stay with them or let them do what they want?

Answer

There are two aspects here:
One is I'elaam (to inform) and the other is I'emaal (to make others practice). Informing is merely a means of making others practice. The purpose (to make others practice) should be placed first and then wisdom should be applied in trying to achieve the purpose.
