The ruling on not waking the children for the Fajr prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: As for my sons, they are of adolescent age, and they have exhausted me and their mother, especially when it is time for the Fajr prayer. I go [to the mosque] and leave them in their beds, then they wake up at seven in the morning, pray, and then go to their schools.
Answer:
This is negligence; this is neglect on your part. Do not go to the mosque unless they are with you. If they become accustomed to your seriousness, they will be disciplined and will get up when you wake them. But if they become accustomed to your laziness and leniency, they will persist in sleep and laziness and will miss the prayer outside its time. You are responsible for them, and it is obligatory for the mother also to help you in waking them. Yes.
