Question Summary:
Should I distance myself from her or not?

Question Detail:

 
Since 1 year ago I have known a girl here in college. She is modest, sincere, smart and she studies hard. But on the other hand she likes drinking alcohol, but not that much. She smokes very rarely though. She sometimes checks what horoscope says. She loves music and dancing. She loves parties. She knows I am a muslim and that I pray daily. I once talked to her about the day of judgement and what islam is all about, and she replied me: " What if I continue to do what I am doing so I can enjoy this life a little bit more and then I repent to God later on? " . I mean, she is not sure at all. When I mentioned her a verse of the Quran, she liked it a lot and she asked me to read the book. But until now she has not read the Quran yet.Please give me advice! Should I distance from her or not? 

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa-raḥmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
While it is important that you have concern for the girl’s guidance, this should not lead you to contravene any law of the Shariʿah. By directly interacting with her, there is a fear that you may begin to adopt her habits or begin having an unlawful relationship with her which is totally unacceptable in Islām.
For the sake of the protection of your own Deen, you should distance yourself from her. At the same time, you should refer her to a female who is knowledgeable from whom she may learn about Islaam.
Also, advise her to refer to the following authentic website which is dedicated to women:
