Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My son is twenty-six years old. And my son says he is twenty-six years old. And he does not pray the obligatory times. I have advised him more than once to maintain them, but he did not listen to me. He says: What should I do with him so that I do not bear a sin?
Answer:
If he is independent and lives on his own, expel him; he should not stay with you. But if he is not independent and cannot live on his own, be patient with him and provide for him. Keep ordering him to pray and compelling him to pray. May Allah help you, if Allah wills, and may Allah guide him and open his heart. Do not despair. Yes.
