Question:
Fawwaz from al-Dawasiir, please, Fawwaz. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy. And upon you peace. Peace be upon you. How are you, Shaykh? Please go ahead. May Allah welcome you. I have two questions, Shaykh. I have two questions. Yes, the first one. The first one is about my mother, may Allah prolong her life. She is sixty years old and does not know how to read, has never read, and has never written. As for the prayers, I teach her the prayers, for example, the midday prayer is four units, the afternoon prayer is four units, and the night prayer. She does not retain them; she learns a little and then forgets, and she does not memorize them.
Answer:
Yes, teach her surahs from the Qur’an. Teach her Surat al-Fatihah and teach her short surahs from the Qur’an. Command her to pray whenever the time for prayer enters, remind her of this, and help her. May Allah reward you with good.
