The father’s obligation toward his sons who are negligent in prayer

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: He has sons whom he guides to prayer and to righteous deeds, but he says: I return to the house and find them in their place,

Answer:
Yes, these are your responsibility if they are in your house. Do not leave them. Do not go to the mosque except with them, once or twice, until they become accustomed to it. And if one of them is stubborn, beat them. Command your children to pray at seven and beat them for it at ten. It is necessary. Yes.
