Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
My brother lives with me in the house, and he abandons prayer. I have advised him several times. Am I held accountable before Allah (Mighty and Majestic) on the Day of Resurrection for my brother’s abandonment of prayer?

Answer:
You are held accountable for remaining with him in the same house. If he refuses to pray, do not live with him in the house. Either you leave the house if it is his, and there are many houses, praise be to Allah, or if the house is yours, you expel him and he does not remain with you while he does not pray. Yes.
