Nuisense And Rebellious Attitude
If he is trying to quit and admits it is wrong then it can’t be a rebellious behavior. Also you said that he is addicted now. If so, then it is a medical case. Also to my understanding, consumption of Alcohol itself is not a sin (or not a big sin) but it leads to committing sins.
Got it. But what does actually constitute rebellious behaviour? Not admitting one is wrong, being persistent on doing the HARAM(whatever it is) and justifying one’s actions? Please explain what does the word that Ghamidi sahib often use Sarkashi or rebellious attitude actually means?
