Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and may He reward you with good. He says, in breaking down his question into points that you have already answered, may Allah reward you with good. He says: Many mothers are concerned about their children's prayers, but not the Fajr prayer. What is your guidance?

Answer:
There is no exception among the prayers; it is obligatory to maintain all of them. Allah the Exalted said:
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer and stand before Allah, devoutly obedient.حَافِظُوا عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَىٰ وَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ قَانِتِينَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:238]
Therefore, it is obligatory to maintain all five prayers, and it is obligatory to command people to perform all the prayers, especially their children. It is not permissible to be lenient regarding the Fajr prayer. Yes.
