3. If a family member (uncle or auntie) holds beliefs like voting is kufr without restrictions and praying in masjids such as this one may invalidate their prayer, are they to be described as Ashābul-Bid’ah if the matters are clarified to them with precision and with the speech of the scholars?

7. Question regarding the ruling of qaza’.
