Relationship with one's sister who wishes to marry a non-Muslim
Question
My oldest sister is planning to marry a non-Muslim guy in a church in front of a priest. She is aware that she is going against Islam and says she is following her heart and mind. If this makes her a disbeliever, what is my relationship with my sister after she commences with this marriage? My parents are not in favour and have no say in this, what according to Islam are we supposed to do?
Answer
Keep a safe distance from her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
