Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a righteous young man, praise be to Allah, but there is a satellite dish in our house, and my father does not pray except at home. So what is the way to guide them?

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to advise them. If they comply, praise be to Allah. If they do not comply and you are able to leave and live in separate housing, it is obligatory for you to leave and live in separate housing and distance yourself from them if they do not accept.
