Answer 1

Assalaamu 'alaikum,

Here is the answer of Saudi lecturer Shaykh Saalih Al Munajjid (may Allaah preserve him);

[al-Nisaa’ 4:140 – interpretation of the meaning]al-Tabari said: this aayah clearly indicates that it is not allowed to sit with the people of falsehood of any kind, when they are indulging in their falsehood. “(but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them” [al-Nisaa’ 4:140 – interpretation of the meaning]. Ibn Katheer said: i.e., you would be like them in sinning.
