My brother is engaged, but still keeps a girlfriend. I am worried about his situation. What can I do?

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.
