.السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته. أحسن الله إليكم What is the ruling on cutting someone off (old friends) because they are bad company? جزاكم الله خيرا

Advise them first, and if they do not listen then distance yourself, a man is upon the religion of his close friend. Distance is not cutting off, so return their salam, and if leaving them would only make them worse then keep advising instead.
